Reading txt file on Notes of your symbian phone?

Someone asked me what mobile ebook application can he used for txt format. According to him he’s lucky enough finding and downloading an eBook on his phone but got confused on how to read the file on his phone. He said, he read the file using “notes” on his phone.

Notes is the default viewer for txt files, I salute him for his eagerness to read that eBook.  Imagine, if you use “notes”, special characters can’t be read and you have to search for last page you’ve read if you’ve stop.  Big deal indeed especially if the file is an eBook.

I suggested him to use HandyBook by epocware, it supports palm doc (pdb) and txt format files. Upon installation, the application will asked you what language you will be using between Greek, Spanish, Slovenian, French, Polish, Swedish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Czech, Finnish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Italian, German or English.

In Handybook application, you can choose the font size from small to large.  There’s no need to make a folder for txt files because it will detect all your txt and pdb files on your phone.  In fact, this is another alternative if you don’t want to convert your txt files that are previously SMS.  And just for the record, txt files is the smallest in size of all eBook formats.  Although you cannot change the font color and background color, its nice to have this application to read your txt files easily.
