And that's the main reason I know that most folks grab LIT files by preference: easy to strip DRM and convert to something else as desired.
The reason this site is called MobileRead, that is because there is a strong bias for reading devices that are portable. It is also why there is such a strong bias against formats that are not device portable friendly. I think it's a mistake in logic to assume that because only 2 people in a group of thousands responded that LIT is not popular.
Do you recall that survey that ran here a few months back showed that 60% of the people that buy eBooks read on the PC. Most members here where flabbergasted to hear that statistic, I know I was. Which also explains why PDF is also a perfected eBook format, because PDF are great to read on a PC.

That was why I started buying LIT to be exact, but then I found out it provided other great benefits that PDF and LRF did not have.
