If you had to initially download your LIT ebooks with Internet Explorer, then they probably have DRM. There are no EInk devices or dedicated Readers that support DRMed LIT ebooks. The EZ Reader can read DRM-free LIT ebooks, but its support for LIT is not as good as some other formats (FB2, MOBI and ePub). I suggest using Calibre to convert them to ePub (you could then obviously use other EInk Readers, but the EZ Reader Pocket Pro is still a good choice). It is relatively easy to strip LIT DRM, look for "ConvertLIT GUI".

Like most EInk Readers today, the Pocket Pro supports Adobe PDF and ePub ebooks with DRM. Adobe PDF ebooks are sometimes called Adobe Digital Editions ebooks, because ADE is the program that reads Adobe ebooks.

The ebookwise 1150 has relatively little memory, so you should be happy with the Pocket Pro. You can store perhaps 1,000 ebooks in internal memory, and SD cards can hold many more. Your SD card should work fine, and SD cards are very inexpensive.

The original battery should last a long time. User replaceable just means that you don't need to ship it back to the factory to replace the battery.

EInk is like paper, in that it uses incident light to display the text. So there is no backlight, and you will need a clip on light to read in the dark.
