Device: Hanlin V3 (with lBook firmware & OpenInkPot)
Readers compatible with Microsoft's .LIT format + Archives (rar and zip)

Hi everybody,
I'm new around here, and I'm looking for a few informations to decide on which eReader to buy. I've read as much as I could of this forum before resorting to write, but I still need to ask a couple questions to you.

I have a quite large collection of ebooks, but unfortunately most of them are in Microsoft's .LIT format. I am looking for a reader compatible with .LIT ebooks: so far, I have found that only the Hanlin V3 is able to read .LIT files, but I also noticed that technical specs often do not show the complete list of compatible files (mostly because firmware upgrades enhance the device beyond what is officially told in press releases).

So, my question is: is there any other ebook reader, beyond the BeBook/Pixelar/HanlinV3, which can read .LIT files?

I know that there are conversion tools capable to convert .lit files into MobiPocket format (clit, for example), but the amount of books to convert is really VERY large, I have a great number of DRM protected .LIT files (which can't be converted by clit), and in my experience clit doesn't work that well (the output often misses whole chapters of text).

Thanks to anyone who will help
