I have a rather large collection of Microsoft LIT files that are unencrypted.

I downloaded Calibre for the Sony and that seems to convert well. But not having a Sony to see what it actually looks like on screen, I am just basing this off the reader program on the PC. My question is which reader would be the easiest to convert and display all these lit files on? I don't want a lot of hassle.

I have almost decided between the Sony 505 and the Kindle. (I have $450 in amazon dollars, so the Cybook is out unfortunately, Don't sell it on amazon) I know you can email Amazon PDF files, but it doesn't look like you can email LIT files, you have to convert them with an outside program like Convert LIT or ABC Amber first then email them.

I was almost set on the Sony but I've heard bad things about the fonts and resizing them. Thoughts?
