The guide talks about emailing things to Amazon for conversion.

it ultimately depends on the file that you drag and drop there. i just tested it out with a txt short story i had on my computer and it is just as pleasant to read as any azw file i've seen. it's best to have text that only has had the enter key pressed at the end of each paragraph (the one i used had this plus each paragraph had 4 leading spaces, so all the paragraphs were indented), so the text can re-flow properly. however ultimately, readability is in 'the eye of the beholder'.
