I'm wondering the same thing. It is a binary format. The Linux file command doesn't know anything about it and no programs associate themselves with it.

$ file winesburg.htxt
winesburg.htxt: data
$cat winesburg.htxt
008108816827866<9d>Zñ<87>^\|Ü^Q½<93>^YÈr<ëÞ¼
.....
$cat topics.htxt
4008108816827866<9e>|Ï«,M¤i×µ[þ:
......
and so on.

I assume it is some proprietary format for Hanvon (i.e. Hanvon-txt). Or is maybe encoded with a wide character set. Still trying to work through it.

Annoyingly, my new reader came with hundreds of books on it, but the file names are only vaguely enlightening. I'd like to figure out a quick way to rename them by finding the author and title in the files.
