Microsoft intentionally reduce your attention and interest, so that you can spend much money buying the Microsoft Office software year by year. In fact, RTF is a mature file format.

2.The .doc and .docx files may contain virus. 
3.The .doc and .docx files can be broken easily.

  In the past, old smart phones and old versions of Linux and Mac operating systems can only supports .txt files. For .txt files, all the font-sizes are the same, and they do support bold, italic, underline formats. Besides, they do not support colors, tables or images. A .txt file looks like a wall. Your eyes can be quite tired after reading .txt files for a short time. 

  Nowadays, many electronic books use RTF instead of TXT. Many new smart phones and operating systems, have already supported RTF, except for TXT. Vitally, the cost creating a .rtf file is much cheaper than the one of a .txt file. Book publishers can simply use Microsoft Word or OpenOffice to save the files as RTF files. Unlike .txt files, they do not have to adjust spaces or new lines for .rtf files.
