The program "lrfviewer" that comes with Calibre is a pretty accurate representation of how the conversion will look. LIT Conversions are never perfect, but work the way you want for the most part.
Once you get use to Calibe you will be very happy with the conversion process. I tend to like buying LIT books just to get the conversion format I like.
The Kindle requires MOBI files so you will have to convert them using MobiPerl. In that package there is a lit2mobi conversion. However that tool is command line.
Both PRS-505/Kindle have tools to convert LIT to their native format . However the PRS-505 is easier to convert, validate and install because of Calibe. So if conserving your LIT files are the biggest concern get the PRS-505.
