The bookmark feature is way overdue in my book and I'm downloading the new version as I type this. We'll try and get a review out soon.

Bummer. I just bought Repligo 1.2 a couple of weeks ago. Does anyone know if they offer some sort of free upgrade for people who just recently purchased it?

Never mind. It looks like they will offer a free upgrade to anyone that purchased version 1.2 after Dec. 12, 2003. Phew.

I nearly bought 1.2 two weeks ago, but when I asked on their forum how to do bookmarks they told me it would bin 2.0 which would be coming out soon. When I asked if I should wait to buy then they said it would be a free upgrade:

My bad...
Does that mean i should wait to purchase until after the new version comes out, so I don't have to pay for an immediate upgrade?

If you purchase now, you will be covered under our upgrade protection program and will get 2.0 for free when it is available.

being naturally cynical, I waited and am going to website now to purchase 2.0.
Now the website says 50% discount for previous owners, so I'm glad I waited

Actually, it's a free upgrade if you purchased it within 45 days of the release of 2.0.

Just received my registration code for the free upgrade. Unfortunately, most of the new features of 2.0 will not work on documents that were loaded using previous versions. So you'll have to delete and reload any documents to take advantage of the new features.

rtalain...I didn't have that problem with needing to delete & reload documents (at least I don't think so) :) I haven't checked everything out yet!
I haven't had Repligo for that long and still learning about the features but, so far, I like it.

if you want your original files bookmarks or table of contents then you have to reconvert them with 2.0

Repligo is now one of my most-used applications. The new features of Release 2.0 are very welcome, especially search and comments/highlighting/bookmarks. Highlighted text is treated as a comment. Initially, the highlighted text becomes the text of the comment. I am struggling to read a novel in Italian on my Axim 5. When I have to look up the translation of a word, I highlight it and add the translation to the text of the highlighted comment.

I uploaded Gigi's "What can I do with my Axim?" article in RGO 2 format. I don't have the bookmarks done yet, but check out the hyperlinks and how they convert. Pretty cool...
