eBooks in RepliGo format?

[bryus]

Ok, here's a question for the eBook loving community. how would you feel about eBooks formatted in the RepliGo format? I have been playing with RepliGo this week and I think that it may work for eBooks.

I will post an eBook in RepliGo format soon and you can let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Personally, I'm a Palmreader fan with very little memory left on my Tung|E. I would ratehr use it for more E-books than for another reader.

But that's just me...

Hi bryus

Please do, I'd be interested in checking it out, as I use PalmReader Pro and all it's features, bookmarks, notes, word lookup etc, Just a quick think on it and I do not believe I could replace it with RepliGO, issue with purchased books etc...

Thanks for the input. Really I am just exploring an idea. I have converted this week's eBook Anne of Green Gables into RepliGo. It wasn't very difficult. A few notes of comparison to the Palm Reader version.

-RG doesn't have chapter links like PR.
-RG is more than twice the size of PR.
-RG has virtually the same formatting in page view but looses right/center/left justification on flowed text.
-RG allows you to highlight text and copy it to other applications on your Palm.
-RG still has page breaks like a printed page even with flowed text.

I am attaching the file with a .pdb extension that must be removed to read because .rgo files are not on the upload file permission list yet.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Sounds like a great idea.

Be interesting to see how well it compares.
The file size is a bit of a prig.
I use repligo a lot, and with the advangatges of ver. 2 it could become quite good though propierty ebook software.
Is it easier to convert? I imagine html ebooks would be a breeze?

Conversion was relatively easy. I just use the same process as for my Palm Reader eBooks to get the line breaks straight. Then, I Just have to format it in word as if it was going to be printed. When I am done, I convert it. the conversion process takes much longer than for Palm Reader. It can take RepliGo minutes to do what DropBook does in seconds. And at a much greater size.

RepliGo is does an excellent job of translating documents into readable files on a Palm. They retain all their formatting and are great to look at. It is really everything that Adobe Acrobat Reader should be on the Palm.

As I stated above there are some drawbacks to using it for ebooks but it is a great webpage/document viewer.

I agree! If adobe will improve their version of Palm reader, I dont mind paying $10 to $15 as long as I can convert PDF or HTML documents in my PC.
