I have done this. Lord knows I have enough TXT files laying around. And, if I choose for hard-returned line length, then the font size is a bit too small for me when I'm using my distance glasses - but quite decent with my reading glasses. This is, of course, in Portrait mode. In Landscape mode, the problem of too-tiny font size goes away.

However, I've found that Ebook Tidy does a really good job of eliminating these in-paragraph hard-returns and it's free to use. Oh sure, there will be *some* editing involved, but not nearly as much as cleaning these TXT files up by hand.
