I was almost set on the Sony but I've heard bad things about the fonts and resizing them. Thoughts?
I think a LIT file is basically a package that contains html files. So, you should be able to convert them to .mobi format for the Kindle...(yes you may need convert lit first. But, you can create a simple batch file that will do all the steps with one command.) The Sony will display your LRFs just fine since LRF is the native format. They will layout the same on the reader as they do on the calibre or eBook software viewer.
