My only guess is that converting to rtf could add more structure to the file
than just simple txt format. All txt documents save are the text itself and
line returns, no extra formatting is included. My only guess therefore is
BookShare doesn't want arbitrary markup, ie from an rtf document to make
it's way into the file.
