How do you read large text (not pdf) files on a touch?

Hi all,

I am trying to set my touch up so as to enable it to regularly allow me to read large text files (originally downloaded in .rtf format) on the go.

So far i have downloaded Apache and simply uploaded (with Cyberduck) the text files in HTML format (HTML saves space and allows safari ot be used as it i use it to read PDFs) onto my touch. I can read them fine, except, i am having font size troubles.

In original format, the text is too small to read without pinching/zooming into the text, which then means that i have to scroll back and forth as i read each line. I have tried increasing the text size of the rtf file before i save it as an html, but this leads to the text overlapping with its self (ie lines of text overlapping with the lines above and below them) and becoming illegible.

I have attempted to increase line spacing before saving to HTML, but this has proved fruitless.

Anyone else tried to read general text on their touch? Any comments? Any suggestions?

Cheers

 

Hey,

i may have missed it in the original post, but my aim was to start a general discussion on using the iTouch as a text reader and the alternative methods people have utilised or can think of.

Or does no one here actually bother with reading text on the touch?
