I am not the most highly computer literate person I know but I seem to be having a problem converting .lit files to .lrf.
I keep getting the following message:

attempt to write a readonly database RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 80, in run OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 671, in add_books
File "main.py", line 714, in _add_books
File "calibre\gui2\library.pyo", line 186, in add_books
File "calibre\library\database2.pyo", line 1137, in add_books
File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 107, in run
DatabaseException: attempt to write a readonly database
RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 80, in run
OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database

I have converted one file successfully and all others give me this error message. I have tried removing it and re-installing it as well as rebooting my computer with no luck!! I have all the PDF files of these books but prefer LRF files. I will keep searching through these archives in case there is a fix that I am missing.
