So I had a little trouble removing the DRM from the free trial LIT file using ConvertLIT GUI, MS Reader kept terminating (as opposed to just closing nicely...), and even though most of the key was being retrieved successfully, it still wasn't successfully downconverting. I then 'Extracted' instead and ended up with a HTML file, which I didn't particularly want. I would have preferred the de-DRM'd LIT file. I was just going to go along with all of this, when I found that Cyber Read have the Mobi file. I was a bit dissapointed because Cyber Read had the book at about twice the price of Books on Board, but when I found 40% coupon that book_addict posted, so while it's still a LITTLE more expensive, it's still much better.
However, if anyone can point out what I may have done wrong with ConvertLIT, please let me know, just in case I need to do this in future. I also tried using the 'main' version (as opposed to the GUI one) and I only ended up with the HTML output, but I couldn't find any way of selecting what format I wanted. Basically, I still want the LIT file, just without the DRM...
Thanks for all of your wonderful help everyone!
ETA - I think I figured out what I did wrong... I didn't actually run it from Command Prompt, I double-clicked and it came up with a dialog box. I'll play around with it again tonight.
