About .lit files, there was a program named Convert Lit (CLIT) somewhere on the net and I used it about a year ago. It was able to deDRM Secure Microsoft Reader books, and convert them (explode them) to HTML.
It needed a special key, taken from a Windows PC (or virtual machine, FWIW) on which Microsoft Reader would be installed and authorized, but after this key had been obtained it could work without Microsoft Reader.
Just my two (euro) cents
Btw, I usually buy my eBooks on Fictionwise because of their great support, extensive catalog and aggressive prices, and I used to download them in eReader format (because of the additional 5%...), and use eReader2html.py to deDRM them and convert them to HTML (and to ePub with the excellent Calibre). I never really had problems with this... Do you think I should switch to Mobi which should, if I understood this thread correctly, have a better formatting ?
Cheers,
