Yeah, the .lit file I have has some weird formatting that none of the converters seem to be able to handle. A find-and-replace in Word fixed it, sort of. Some of the indentation and such is off now, and theres no way im doing 800 of them by hand

Thanks for the help. I'll let you know of any other exciting developments.

Im surprised at how difficult this whole process is. I think the ebook market is one that _really_ needs an extremely simple plug and play environment for it to take off. iTunes but with text.

I've been messing around with different formats and tools for 5 hours now, and just now finally starting to understand the limits of the different file formats and the boundaries of the device.

It's perfect for me, being pretty into computers. But I doubt the target demographic for these things has the patience and technical know-how that I do to really get the most out of a device like this.
