X-Files stories from Gossamer on Nook...

For the past couple of week I have downloaded all of the favorites fics and put them on my Nook.  I have had to use Sigil on about a 1/3 of them to look right.  The ones that I'm having the most trouble with is all of my old X-Files stories that I love from Grossamer.org.  I tired to download them in txt formart but that didn't look right.  Then I tired saved them in HTML formart and just removed the background.  Again it doesn't look right.  A lot of the time the text runs too wide for my screen.  I was wondering if any one else has tired to put their old X-files fanfic on their e-reader and what they did to make it look right.

For what it's worth - my normal scheme is to check if the author is also on AO3 (occasionally they are and my life is made much easier) and when that fails to copy and paste the text from the webpage into OpenOffice, save it as RTF and then get Calibre to do the transform (and then periodically re-check AO3 in case). I do have to go and put formatting back in where it hasn't copied across but it isn't too bad unless there is a lot of messing around with Italics etc.

I don't know if that works for the Nook (I have a Sony eReader) but
