Yes, the scale 1 and 2 sizes are ok. I'm currently using rtf for my ebooks, and I set the font to 16pt Ariel. I don't have any links, images, etc. But since rtf is a terrible format to manipulate programmatically, and I really hate Word, I'm considering going to txt. Text seems to be the "forgotten" format around here :-) Is anybody using it as their main file format on the Reader?

I really prefer the sans serif font to the serif font on the Reader screen though, and a larger default size. If there was some not-too-painful way to change the default font for text files, then I could use txt files and still get most of the benefit of rtf.

The other thing I like about rtf is being able to specify the metadata, but I figure I can write something to update the cache.xml file for txt files with sensible author/title info parsed from the filename.
