Hi, new to the MobileRead forums and I have a noob-type question. Got my PRS-505 last week, and have been doing a bunch of research here on how to convert other formats to lrf so I can stock up for a merchant ship stint I have coming up.

a) Do I actually have to have MS Reader installed to convert LITs to lfr if I buy them at places like Fictionwise or whatever?

b) If I do need it, which version should I get? Microsoft is touting a new version of MS Reader (Optimized for Origami™)

Edit: link here (sorry)

Will this be fine for the LIT to lrf conversion process, or is this a version so new it will screw up the works (because of a new protection scheme or something - you know how these "upgrade" things are).

Thanks!

Bruce
