How to export and read .txt files using iPhone?

I've some text files (a few thousand lines each) on my PC. How can I transfer them to the iPhone so that I can do my reading on-the-go?

(Sure I could simply email them to myself, but I'm looking for a more convenient and less time-wasting solution.)

One solution would be to use Dropbox or iCloud to hold/sync your notes and read them with a simple text editing or note taking app. I use Byword.

Another solution is using Simplenote, and Notational Velocity.

Simplenote also has a web app at simplenoteapp.com.

These apps all automatically sync your notes and have great search features. I've used this for the past couple of years to store all of my notes.

Using Dropbox will be the simplest, free solution. Within the Dropbox app you can view text files. No other app needed.

Use Airdrop to send plain text (.txt) file and open in Notes. This works if you are away from wi-fi for your laptop.

You could download an app which allows you to read transfer and read txt files on your iPhone.

For me, I use fileapp to read my txt files on my iPhone. Transferring is done via the usb cable.
