The reader is supposed to handle plain old txt files, and of course, EVERYONE knows that there are more than 10K books on project Gutenburg, as TXT files. When using a .lit reader, I wrote a simple QBASIC program to convert txt to html...adding in <BR> on blank lines, etc, then I ran the HTML into .LIT files. Some books took a while to convert, because I also looked for chapter numbers and the word Chapter, then inserted headings around the chapter titles, and tags for a TOC. I could do a large book in about 2 hours, but when I was done, I had a good looking book in the .LIT format.
I just pushed an openSSL license.txt up to the sony reader, and it needed a little formatting, like the removal of line feeds inside of paragraphs, but TXT works fine on the Sony reader prs-505, That would be easy to do, just add a line feed whenever finding a blank line, and concatinate the rest.
