Quite right... search for the ConvertLIT thread here and use google to find and download the problem. The readme will get you started. That and calibre makes converting LITs to LRF for Sony pretty easy.
Yes, you can convert Mobi to LRF, but removing DRM from them is not so easy to do and you may need multiple versions of hard to find stuff depending on the mobi versions, etc.

THe Sony is about $270... Walmart has it for the price. I doubt it will go down much lower than that to often.

Yes, go for it.
