I stated in a previous message that sending txt files to the book port was the quickest method I have found. Of course, this doesn't consider daisy files and other files that contain markup. People on the list are correct. If you translate these files to txt, you will miss the formatting you need to be able to jump to sections of the file in the ways designed into the Daisy format. I was restricting my comments to files that were not marked up in these ways and just trying to give people some simple guidelines for transferring these files.
