First, one of my roommates has a large library of ebooks she painstakingly converted to .lit format to use with her favorite computer reader. I get the impression .lit is spotty on just about everything, and not a great option for trying to use with ebook readers. If I use those files without converting them again, will I be able to use bookmarks and stuff on the ezreader?

Second, and much sillier-- I'm trying to decide between the slate blue and the purple. Can anyone tell me if the blue is about the same as what I see on Aztak's websites, or lighter, like I see on Newegg's website? Is the purple accurate to color too?

Thanks for reading!
Dear Turtlesoup:

Welcome!! A new firmware upgrade is said by the factory to greatly improve the .LIT format on the device. That should be available for free on our website next week.

Slate Blue is a dark blue with sort of a greyish tint. It is gorgeous.

The Metallic Purple is SO hard to describe. It clearly is NOT a purple. It is my biggest problem trying to explain it. It is our least understood color as people think it is purple and it is so much more. It is a light purple with somewhat of a silverish tint. It clearly is NOTHING like a pink. It is somewhat similar to a purple post-it note. It is gorgeous.
