Tony, I doubt that txt files can maintain section breaks, since depending on what program you're making them in, they can't even maintain page breaks. If you're using Word, thos page breaks are going to disappear as soon as you convert the file to txt and close it. Next time you open it, they'll all be gone. If the book in question is in rtf and it's easier to convert section breaks to page breaks there's no problem with that, but even if you don't the Bookshare conversion utilities will do so after you've validated and approved the book and it goes to the admins.
