I need advice on how to safeguard notes, highlighting, and bookmarks made in eBooks that are self made, downloaded from free sites, or purchased (DRM). In order to use an eBook as a substitute for a print edition notes, highlighting, and bookmarks are very important (to me). Up until now, RepliGo has been my primary reader. However, some users have had problems with large PDF's (example 1 (http://www.cerience.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=538), example 2 (http://www.cerience.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=559), and example 3 (http://www.cerience.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=371) 8O ) as well as glacial development (http://www.cerience.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=647). I have had problems with large RepliGo files in the latest PPC version (2.0.1) similar to example 3, whether created from PDF or MS Word. After spending many hours reading, highlighting, and taking notes only to see an error "This is not a valid RepliGo file", all highlighting, notes, and bookmarks were lost. :bawl: The search for dependable alternatives such as Microsoft Reader (http://www.microsoft.com/reader/info/ppc.asp), eReader (http://www.ereader.com/product/detail/15005), and MobiPocket (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp) now ensues.
The current qualifying factors consist of:
Enduring platform and support
Bugless operation for annotations (notes, highlighting, and bookmarks)
Backwards compatibility (older eBooks must be compatible with newer version of the reader software or else all notes, highlighting and bookmarking are lost)
Ability to transfer contents and annotations across different devices and Windows Mobile upgrades
Other preferred but non-crucial factors include:
Table of contents creation with content creator
Reasonably priced content creator and easy content creation
Reasonable program speed
Frequent feature updates
Auto scrolling
Any input from knowledge or personal experience of a reader in regards to bugs that result in lost annotations, backwards compatibility, and the ability to transfer contents and annotations to other devices and across Windows Mobile upgrades would be appreciated. :way to go:
