The only problem with the .txt format is that small-screen devices can be obnoxious about showing the whole thing left-to right unless you pan and zoom it juuuust right. But I'd rather have that problem (on an admitted edge case) than all the other issues using a fully-formatted document would cause (not the least of which is having every devices render it slightly differently in annoying ways) :)

It would be great if there was some way to just filter the text stories through a php page or something to turn them into styled HTML, but I know you've got better things to do than worry about that (and I'd rather you spend the time on writing rather than mucking around with it anyway... :)) Maybe I'll take another stab at it sometime.
