Yes, as you rightly say, this is very opposite of what most of us are trying to achieve, which is to add "richer" content back into a plain ASCII text file!

As long the eBook is in some format which correctly indicates its code page (as, for example, a MobiPocket book does) it should display correctly on any computer.
