oh, make no mistake, i also get rid of the drm first thing !! but on the previous lot of books, i just exploded them into html etc., and didn't keep a drm-free lit version (i didn't see the point...
) so i still have my books, no worries, just not in lit format.
now of course i've started "downconverting" the files first to obtain a drm-free lit file, and *then* converting them to a more useful format (epub, now), just in case. i'm not convinced i'll ever necessarily need the actual lit file for something i can't do with the core html files, but you never know.
