If you explode a LIT with ConvertLIT, make a .zip of the contents and rename it .oebzip then FBReader works very well on LITs. On the iLiad, FBReader can handle (DRM-free) LIT directly by adding a pre-processing step that explodes the file to a subdirectory and then passes the .opf file to FBReader (there is no need to form a .oebzip, although this would be ok too). Instead of forming a .oebzip you could instead use oeb2epub to form a .epub (which is also a zip file) - the result may not be a legal ePub but FBReader will read it.

I am not a fan of treating FBReader as a backend single-ebook reader (I like FBReader's library capability), but it does make it very easy to add pre-processing steps like ConvertLIT to get round DMCA and licensing issues.
