As you say a LIT file is an encoded HTML, XML and images. The problem might not be the coding to decode the files but the hardware to do it on in reasonable time. Older Android hardware might not be up to it in the fly.

OK sorry if I was too quick to challenge you. But I was trying to get across it isn't that I can't convert, its the fact that I'd like to
avoid converting because I have a large collection and my experience of conversion is that the formatting is not 100% retained post conversion.
Fair point re speed but my HTC Prophet winmobile v5
is much older hardware
and it can open .LIT just fine. I suspect
most Android phones have faster processors than my old phone.
Plus CR3 can already read .zip and other compressed formats like epub so probably isn't going to be any slower decompressing the .LIT than any other already CR3 supported compressed format.
Bottom line it's a format that I'd like CR3 to support so that I can use one (and one only) ebook reader on my new android phone.
It if doesnt happen fine, but it would have saved me and others just soming to Android from WinMobile a whole bunch of time doing conversions.
There is surely no harm in asking and it's really up to Buggins to decide which requests he takes on.
