Hmm, maybe I should try it too... I used Word to convert txt to MS Reader format, but it doesn't seem to work with languages other than English (need Russian, Hebrew). Do you know if RepliGo works fine with other langs? Can't try right now, at work currently

I'm not 100% sure, but assuming that your desktop can display the language, Repligo simply renders it to a file...so it should work. Only one way to find out. :wink:

RepliGo is the best! If they would just make a desktop reader to go with the PPC reader I wouldn't need Adobe for anything.

Welcome to the club! :wink:
I have so many repligo documents on my PPC now, I'm having to think up new ways of organizing them. It's a great tool.
For the folks in the Repligo thread that said it's not worth it's price, that Adobe PPC reader is just as good, blah, blah, blah... I just shrug and move on... I certainly know what it's worth to me.

RepliGo supports ANY language. RepliGo does not rely on fonts or language packs to render the document's text. Since RepilGo renders your documents with their original look and feel, any language is possible with RepliGo. Some languages that do not read left to right may not reflow in the anticipated direction.

Can Repligo read .pdf files?

No - what you do is to print the PDF files on the desktop to the RepliGo printer, which generates .RGO files that get put on the handheld. Amazingly, the size of the files is often less-than-half; and let's not compare reader speeds and sizes. Simply put, the RepliGo reader is as fast as most eBook readers.

The only drawback to Repligo is the dependence on the Repligo printer engine being on the PC that has the files you want. (or a PC that you have access to). If you are traveling and need to add a file, it is unlikely the individual with the file can produce it in .rgo for you. It is almost as unlikely that they can produce a .pdf too, but the chances of that are actually a bit higher I would think.
Same limitation if someone mails you a document. They would have to convert it first, i.e. have Repligo.
For those situations, something like Westek's Clearview does a good job, as it reads the native file format, though of a limited set of documents. Most of the major business ones though.
Each of those concepts have their strengths and limitations. I think the individual needs to really understand what each type does, and how they typically need to use such a product, to decide which one is right. (might need both.
