Yes, clit actually is ConvertLIT. I have tried to strip DRM off my ebooks, but it doesn't always work: it seems that it works for DRM1 to DRM3, has many problems with DRM4 and doesn't work at all with DRM5.
As for Calibre, I have a Fedora Linux PC, and I haven't been able to install it: I think it's because Fedora 10 doesn't have the latest Python libraries available, so I'm waiting for Fedora 11 (13 more days to wait...) to try again.
I know, you'll be wondering: how comes you use Linux and have Microsoft's .LIT ebooks? It's because I buy ebooks from an Italian website which offers almost exclusively .lit ebooks. I have to use WinE + Microsoft Reader to read them. I was thinking about buying a reader because, as you can imagine, my eyes are begging for mercy.
I really hoped I could read those ebooks without converting them because they are many, and by many I mean some-hundreds.
BTW, in Italy, so far stripping an ebook of its DRM is "grey area": it *could* be considered a "first step to distribute illegally" an ebook, but still there's a law that allow people to convert/copy/adapt software and intellectual properties for personal use, for backup, for storing, and to adapt them to specific formats. This law existed since people started to make copies of Betamax tape into VHS, so that they didn't have to buy yet another machine.
