I'm very annoyed.... I've been recommended to download the Microsoft Reader files rather than the Adobe ones from Fictionwise (for my PRS-505) so that they can be converted easily... but this is a major PITA. Can Secure eReader files from Fictionwise be easily converted?

Cheers,

Yes Secure eReader and secure Mobipocket can both be converted.

How Easy is it?

Well it does require you to install Python and run a couple of scripts to convert them to HTML.

Once in Html, you can easily convert them to lrf using Calibre.

But if you were planning to convert the .lit file anyway, it should not be any more difficult.

Just search on google for for the scripts Mobi DeDRM for Mobipocket and eReader2html for eReader.

For how to use them, look at this thread in the forums.
