Looks great, but can you imagine Google pulling the rug under an academic's document/citation database?

I don't even want to imagine having to migrate all annotations and citations to something else when they inevitably pull the plug on it some years down the road.

Huh? This tool just parses PDFs, it doesn't require academics to actually do anything.
Hm, I got the impression they store notes and annotations to your Google account, but maybe I'm mistaken.
The Chrome Web Store page doesn't say anything about annotations.
