For some odd reason, plain text seems to come out nearly microscopic in size.
I'm not certain that my above statement was clear. I meant that the ".txt" files that I tried to read on my Nook Color came out with very small characters. But I am still trying to learn how to do things on it.

I love the HTML reader on the NC. I just wish I could force the content to stay on the screen. HTML docs seem to stay on the screen better when I'm in landscape mode.

Maybe they need to come out with a variation of EPUB that uncompresses the table of contents and keeps each chapter compressed until you want to read it.

A feature to search within a compressed book (or compressed chapters) shouldn't be impossible, there are already utilities that let you search for a word in a compressed file.
