I just spend some time converting a few Baen books from the free library. In order to do it right, it will need to be done manually. lit2lrf won't do. You'll need to take the LIT and convert it to html and then message the HTML to fix things with it and keep converting/fixing till you get it looking good. So there is no real way to batch process since the Bean html is not all that nice to start with. I'd need to check if all the things needing fixed are the same and they can be mentioned or maybe somehow automated. But we'll see as I delve more into this when I have time.
