It is possible to convert e-books in Microsoft .LIT format for use on the Iliad. The steps are as follows:
1. Run ConvertLIT (http://www.convertlit.com) on the original .LIT file. This will create a load of HTML files with a .OPF manifest file.
2. Copy the attached perl script to your working directory and run it, giving the .opf filename and your required HTML output filename as parameters. It will examine the XML manifest and make a brave attempt to combine the HTML files into a single file. You will need the CPAN module XML::Mini installed.
3. Load the resultant HTML into your favourite word processor, and print as an Iliad formatted PDF.
Note that ConvertLIT is capable of removing DRM from .LIT files that you have legitimately purchased. Please ensure that if you do this, it is legal to do so in your country.
