It did seem to me that someone was implying that you can; but, trust me, I
have Bindery and you cannot. You can import text files into Bindery and
create documents for Book Reader. It is a bit of a pain for large files:
only pages that are named are accessible to Book Reader and there is no
automatic way to name pages. Thus, if you import a Project Gutenberg novel,
for example, that comes out to 250 pages, you must manually name each and
every page.
Palm had a package called Palm Utilites that included Palm Import. Palm
Import converts text files to Notebook files. Notice I said "had". My
understanding is that they are no longer distributing this package. They did
make Palm Export (which was not a part of the package) freely available.
TextReader (a shareware program by Structured Software Designs) can read big
text files. It should be available in the usual places.
