Actually on the Book Port, you get more files in .txt than you do in .rtf,
dramatically more. So my motto is save in the smallest file type that still
allows navigation. This of course is not for Bookshare.

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.
