Has anyone been successful in opening a book in LIT format on the EZ-Reader?
Am I doing something wrong in my conversion with Calibre?
I found that so far I like the PRC format best, and am extremely happy with Adobe Digital Editions which allows me to read Library books.

LIT is one of the more complicated formats and the EZ Reader is slow about rendering and cannot deal with some files at all, although most will work after a fashion.
I am still evaluating the various formats in the new firmware using the EZ Reader basic and have found that ePUB is pretty much on par with the Mobi format although links don't work in ePUB yet. I was pleased that Hanlin kept most of the rendering they originally produced for MOBI does it is as complete as it was before, minus the DRM support. I was afraid they would lose that when the switch happened.
The new PDF is very good also on most documents, FB2 remains good and Palm-DOC is quite usable. Even word and RTF are workable. I will probably take the time to do a formal comparison at some point.
I did a review of the earlier firmware and sent it directly to Astak for their action on the items I found. The new firmware is really good now and the product is on par with all the others out there IMHO.
