In my case, any time I submit a txt file now-a-days it is because it is an
old scan that I have finally gotten around to submitting.
Previously, when I scanned, I used to save as txt as it was always easier
to send to my Road Runner, or Book Port.
Now, while it is still easier to send it as a txt file to my Book Port , I
have been saving first as RTF for Bookshare's sake.
Before someone points out that the Book Port now accepts RTF files, I
should mention that I'm using a very old copy of the beta transfer software
so I can transfer to my card reader rather than directly to my Book Port
via the usb cable.

Can someone who submits as .txt please explain to me what is so much easier for you about using this file format instead of the .rtf format which, incidentally, is just that "rich text format" and which is so much more useful to bookshare officially than .txt. Since any scanning program I know of lets people save in a variety of formats why go with .txt when you scan? Just curious.
