    There’s not really any advantage of using txt files over open standard drm-free epubs. You can still generate them yourself using txt editors or publishing software, you can still load them over USB. But epubs give you quality of life features on eReaders like title pages, table of contents, chapter headers, formatting markers like bold and italics.

      My reader formats epubs really terribly, the text is almost always way too small, and requires some grotesque horizontal scrolling for most books.

      On the other hand .txt just works, and handles resizing just fine
