Re the txt thing, my first Palm only read text and I had a whole bunch of novels and short stories on it. For me, it was the first ebook. I was quite the novelty on the train and would get a question about what I was looking at almost every day. Now everyone is head down peering at a little screen.

Then, for my upgraded Palm I had a program called Repligo which would convert Word files (with limited formatting) into PDF-like type files. I loved Repligo and struggled along with it for quite a time when they changed their business model and stopped supporting Palm.

I struggled for ages to find the "sweet spot" of reader when I finally went to the iphone (not as good as the Palm but sadly, Palm had exploded by then).

Nowadays, I convert everything to epub.
