Don't all the browsers offer some implementation of 'cloud tabs', cloud bookmarks, and/or 'read later' sorts of features? Who needs copy/paste?

Yes, but I am often looking at 10 or 20 things at the same time. I don't need to "read later", I need to read all of them now. I'll probably lose like half my trains of thought if I have to wait multiple seconds to switch back to page rendering one of the other umpteen search results...

For tagged bookmarking I use jotmuch: https://github.com/davidlazar/jotmuch

For more context, I almost always use my phone with this emergency pocket keyboard: http://www.amazon.com/ZAGG-FOLZKFLEXSLV-Zagg-ZAGGkeys-FLEX/d... .. so I somewhat normal, high input rate.

Well, yeah, at the scale of "real research" it doesn't really work. But you wouldn't want to do that on a tiny screen even if copy/paste was up to it. You probably wouldn't even want to do it on a laptop screen. That's just a tool/task mismatch.
