I'm vaguely aware that jar applets exist but beyond that, know nothing about these types of phones...and I'd like an easy, no hassle solution if one exists.

Assuming the cellphone has a mobile browser at least, what I did was send books (in txt or html format) to my Yahoo mail account (Gmail didn't exist yet) and just read the books via the built-in web browser (and later, on Opera Mobile).
As for a smartphone, both Android and iOS can render actual ebook formats quite decently. I don't know why you'd want to suffer reading a plain text file but either OS should be able to handle text files with ease. Personally, I prefer Android over iOS.
