best tool to convert to Lit.?
Hey there- I've finally decided on a reader for my netbook-I went with Ebook Reader Pro. Mainly because it allows total control over font/spaceing/background/rotation.
The only format it will handle is Lit. Which leads to my question-whats the best conversion program to use? The ballance of my collection is in PDF form. |

There's a Word macro I use. I don't know if Microsoft has updated it for Word whatever we're on but I've been happy with it. I believe Calibre will also convert to LIT. Check it out.
LIT has definitely not received much attention from Microsoft lately. I wonder if they'll dust it off any time soon. It doesn't seem likely to me. Rob Preece Publisher, www.BooksForABuck.com |

Thanks-I have Calibre,and it does convert to lit.I was just wondering if there were any other conversion programs available.It's strange that there are so many programs to convert FROM lit. but so few that convert TO lit.
Also unfortunate that there are so few options available with PDF readers. I find the non-white background much easier for reading. |

Best tool is Calibre to convert from one eBook format to MS Reader. Will convert from ePub and Mobipocket quite nicely.

The only other converter I've been able to locate is Amber pdf converter.Any version after 3.04 will convert to lit.

Presently batch converting with calibre-works well if a little slow.
Ran across Michisoft converter in my travels-works well to convert Lit from html.txt,rtf formats-and very fast. http://www.michisoft.com/programs/re...udio/index.htm |
