I've just started to give RepliGo a trial, and so far it looks like it's great on the 200pp tech manual I'm reading. But haven't hit the images yet so didn't notice no images in reflow mode. I'll let you know what I find out with more trial. But at least I can read the text, and the whole install, convert, read process has been absolutely fantastic so far with not a single snag (yet). Looks really promising to me.

A question... with something lke Gemini can you still reflow text. Do you get paragraphs that reflow around pics when you convert to HTML, or how does that work? For example, would I get a nice result with flowing screen-width text if I converted pdf to HTML and then to iSilo or eReader?
