- Menu-Select All (in any text source)
- Copy the Text
- Paste it into TextEdit
- Menu-Make Plain Text
- Save As (use UTF-8 encoding)
And done! I always use this method to produce TXT files and it works very well with BookZ : )
If you have enough bandwidth, you could watch the video workflow (same content as above)

Thanks Steve for going the extra mile! I absolutely love this little program. If people would slow down, make sure that their files are plain text files, they will discover just how awesome BookZ really is.
Once I realized that it is imperative that my files be in plain text, and temporarily to name the files with lower case – short – ascii only names then every single issue that I had with the program quitting went away.
The controls are absolutely fantastic and the speed is unbelievable. I purchased File Magnet to be able to read text files before I found BookZ. It takes 47 seconds for File Magnet to open a 1MB text file. I can’t even blink before BookZ has that same 1MB file ready for viewing. Not only opening, but File Magnet takes 2 to 3 seconds to start scrolling once you touch the screen. BookZ is blisteringly fast!
For the price of of good cup of coffee, BookZ has totally fulfilled my needs in a text reader.
Kudos Steve!

Thanks David! I’m so glad you enjoy the program!
At the beginning, I wrote BookZ for my own use~ Then it came the App Store and I decided to share : )
A lot of optimizations has been done for reading, and more optimizations in the next release.
One of the things I am working on is dictionary support within BookZ. I’ve finished with the algorithm part and it will be a free bonus for all BookZ users!
Cheers
Steve
