I noticed a book on the Connect site today, published by ereads.com.

I checked the ereads.com site and saw that their multiformat does not seem to include RTF. However it does include LIT.

Then I found free software, ABC Amber LIT Converter, which apparently easily converts LIT to RTF.

Can it really be this easy to get content for our Sony Readers from sites that sell LIT format books? What about other formats? If so, I really want to know, because it significantly expands my/our options for content.

Do you think that Sony is just converting ereads.com books (with permission) into RTF format and selling it on the Connect site, or is there probably an arrangement to create it in the Sony DRM? If there is, then maybe it means more content will become available on Connect.
