Great idea on the bookmarklet. I could see a tool for building custom readers with clippings from various sites. Say I want to organize JavaScript array patterns and ideas. Throw in a way to clip parts of my PDF books into this "reader" and you have an amazing product worth millions.

Can you explain this more, how do you see this being operated? See a pdf, clip it, create your own reader with your own clips?
