I do think the memory usage should be fixed right away.
The plugin is keeping TXT files in memory. According to this thread on Quora, 1 GB is approximately 900,000 pages, or 179 million "standard" words (5 single-byte characters plus a space). If the text is 100% UTF-8 extended characters then using the same assumptions as in the thread there are 11 bytes per word. A GB would be 98 million words or 488,000 pages.

I don't know how many people will be comparing 900,000 page books, or even 488,000 page books.
