I will warn you that the more books you keep on it the slower it becomes when syncing up and I have had some issues with error messages when I pull one of the cards out.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it.

Remember that if you have a Baen book you can download it again with the text format.

Oh, I know but I've not seen any reason. The LIT files convert perfectly using the convert feature in libprs500.
Where I'm having trouble right now is DRM'd LIT files which I had hoped to buy as the main format I'd use.
I downloaded the 'test' file you can get from Fictionwise & ran it through clit.exe and had hoped I'd then be able to then convert it the same as a non-DRM'd file, but libprs500 errors out.
When I ran it through lit2lrf sans libprs500 I did get an LRF (a 10kb LRF from a 282kb LIT), but it was pretty bad (blank pages, images gone, text basically unformatted). It may be a matter of learning some of the commands for lit2lrf.
When I tried to load the LIT into BookDesigner it errors out too. Even the HTML clit creates errors BookDesigner out & won't load.
I know I could fiddle with the HTML in a regular editor, stripping some things out & merging multiple HTML files, & run it through html2lrf. At this point I'm hoping to avoid quite so much work.
I read anywhere from 3-8 books a week on general & it will get tiresome very quickly if each book turns into a major project. I'm really not keen on buying a ton of Sony DRM'd books at this point for various reasons.
If anyone has any advise or help on this I'd greatly appreciate it.
