G'day Niels !
Count me as another happy user of Zotero + ZotFile; I did most of the reading for my upcoming book that way. I use GoodReader on the iPad as a PDF reader, and sync files between laptop and iPad via Dropbox.
One small issue: with PDFs from some journals, ZotFile/Zotero sometimes get the page numbers for extracted text annotations wrong. This is the case with journals that append a cover page to a downloaded article PDF (e.g. Journalism Studies, and a number of other journals using the same CMS backend), which shifts the page numbers for extracted text by one. Not a massive problem as long as you're aware of it and apply manual corrections to the extracted notes that ZotFile generates.
