No, don't think so. According their page (
http://coolreader.org/e-index.htm):
# Opens books from .txt, .doc, .html, .fb2 or .rtf formats with automatic codepage (cp866,cp1251,KOI-8r,latin-1,unicode,utf-8) and format recognition (headers, paragraphs, etc...)
# Supports RAR, ZIP, HA, ARJ, LHA archieves
But LIT is easy to convert to FB2 using BookDesigner, or even if you just use ConvertLIT to extract the book as HTML and convert to ePub, etc. A little work, I know, but my experience with LIT books is they look pretty crap on ant reader (BeBook, PC (using MS Reader), etc.).
Couple other questions:
(1) How do HTML pages dispay on the 360 - can you follow links, etc.? And do links work in FB2 files or not?
(2) I assume you can change fonts, install your own, etc. Have you tried the Gentium Book Basic font:

I can't get it to work on the V3, but it's a little fussy about fonts. I was wondering if it would work on the 360, because I think it will look good (esp. the Book Basic font). Of course, I could be wrong, so I'm hoping someone will try it out...
BTW, I use Bookman Old Style on my V3 and really like it, so you might want to try that on your 360 (you can test it by copying the font set (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) from your \Windows\Fonts\ directory).
