Thank you for your suggestions.

Opening the file in the text editor works but I'm scared I might accidentally change the file, especially because I haven't found a possibility to disable the touch screen with koreader.

Converting the file with Calibre is a good idea. No Libre Office or Word even needed, I can directly convert the file with something like `ebook-convert mybook.txt mybook.epub --input-encoding=utf-8 '--chapter=//*[name()='"'"'h1'"'"' or name()='"'"'h2'"'"']' --chapter-mark=none --page-breaks-before=/ --title 'A book' --authors 'My favorite author' --pubdate 'someday'`. It took my some time to figure out the correct options but now this seems like a feasible workaround. This also has the advantage that now I don't need koreader anymore and can disable the touch screen while reading.

I'll keep koreader installed, of course. Having a text editor and terminal emulator available may come in handy some day.

Thank you.
