arxiv.org is a notable collection and publishing place for papers in physics and allied fields. I could say more, but you'd be better reading this interview with founder Paul Ginsparg on the receipt of his MacArthur Foundation award.
arxiv.mobi is "Made by Brad Chase 2008. Not officially related to arXiv." It's designed for the iPhone. It's super fast and simple, and it looks good.
From what I can tell he's building this site by harvesting OAI records from the arXiv API so this is an independent development built on top of the site's programming interface.
(Note to self; can your patrons download the full records for all new books, so that they can recreate your new books shelf or acquisitions shelf on their own?)
