Yeah. Basically. Be sure to save the txt file as UTF-8. So in my case, I had a book in .txt file but it was in illegible jumble when I opened it. So I had to open the txt file with MS Word and it prompted me to use some other language than unicode (or something similar). That made the text to be legible but because tMS Word didn't give me option to save as UTF-8 txt file, I had to copy the text from MS Word to notepad and save with the UFT-8 option.

If you are converting from html, just copy the text to notepad and then save with UFT-8 option.

I doubt this is the most convenient method ther is but it's the only one I know so... and be sure to change the reading setting as" publisher default" on your nook or the text will show up as a bunch of question marks. When I have time, I'll post the whole instruction so I can give proper credit to the awesome person who came up with the solution.
