I loaded several of them on my sd card when I try to open by clicking on the lit file in the file browser
I do get a error but when I open the msreader and open via the library they work.
I remember running into that issue previously and it did not matter what the lit file source was the problem
was something in microsofts changes to the msreadersoftware something is wrong with the registry key on the pocket pc
the msreader setup took me a while to relocate the fix (did not help the hp rom update I tried failed and left me
unbootable for a while and hp helpdesk was useless claimed I had to send it in to get it fixed but I finally found a
rom loader and got rom reloaded). I then reinstalled msreader and applyed this fix using a registry key editor for the pocket pc.
finding that fix even though I knew it existed was the hard part microsoft does not seem to have it in any technote on their site
but I finally found a reference to via google

• Registry Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\eBook\Shell\Open\Command
• Old Value: \Program Files\Microsoft Reader\MSReader.exe %1
• Corrected Value: "\Program Files\Microsoft Reader\MSReader.exe" %1
• Registry Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\eBookEBO\Shell\Open\Command]
• Old Value: \Program Files\Microsoft Reader\MSReader.exe %1
• Corrected Value: "\Program Files\Microsoft Reader\MSReader.exe" %1

basically microsoft forgot the double quotes and never fixed or even put up a technote on the problem at least their own search engine could not find it.
no idea if the windows mobile version has same issue or not.
