Hi

I would say you have two problems: format to read now and guarantee the future.

I will attack the “future” part first as the rest will come together:

1 – protecting the future

Get the Lit version.
Take out the DRM with ConvertLit (if it’s legal in your country to do so).
The result is a bunch of files, one (at least) is a html file, this with the images is the “open” file format of your eBook, with it you can now – and I think in the future too – convert it to any format you want;

2 – getting it into the format you want to read now and share with your son

Once you have the html file and the rest of the files I talk in (1), convert it to the format you want (hell if you want to go into the ePub road, just do that with Calibre).
Your result file has no DRM so you can share it with your son too.

Once again: take good care that what you are doing in (1) is legal in your country.

Good reading,
