Each type of file has a related reader and should only be read by that specific reader. The same is true for PDF files. Use Adobe Reader for them.
What an odd thing to say. The Reader supports text files; there's absolutely nothing "WRONG" in using it to read them.

There is a size limit for various file types (it appears, for example, to be about 13MB for RTF files). It probably would be better to convert the text file to LRF using a tool such as BD or txt2lrf.
