Hello,
I purchased the Tolkien books on the first day Fictionwise offered them. At that time they only offered them in the mobi format and not Lit which I would have much preferred. Unfortunately, I can only re-download them in mobi format. I've since "freed" them and would like to convert them to lit. I found the following ticket on Calibre that seems to suggest it can convert mobi files to lit but I have no idea how to do it:

http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/1933

In the Output box, I only have 3 options: epub, lrf, and mobi. Can Calibre convert this to lit? If so, how?

I also noticed the "example" book in the ticket can be downloaded. Is this a freely available book? I'd like the book but do not want to keep it if it isn't legitimately available for free =).

Thanks!
Danny
