The AscToRTF application is a great utility for converting plain text ascii e-books from Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/ to RTF files for viewing on the new Sony® Reader PRS-500. I've only had the Sony Reader a week now, and although it "supports" plain text files they don't display well because of the fixed line endings. Before I discovered your application I was doing a lot of hard work in Microsoft Word trying to format the .txt files into something more readable to save as RTF format for improved reading on the PRS-500 reader. It was much too much work "searching and replacing" and doing other editing -- even using some simple macros I wrote to automate the process. Now, all the hard work is done for me - I just run a batch job on the ascii e-texts and in a few minutes I have much more readable books. I still have to spend a few minutes touching up the results created by AscTo RTF in Microsoft Word (only because of the perfectionist in me), but that is nothing compared to the hours of work it has saved me. Without your application to convert public-domain e-books in text format to a very nice "readable" RTF format for the Sony Reader - I was seriously doubting the wisdom of purchasing the Sony Reader. Thanks for this great application.
