ConvertLIT is the most frequently recommended approach, but see ABC Amber LIT Converter for a recent discussion of the issue.

One interesting sidenote is that FBReader (for example) can't read .lit files without DRM because you need MS software to do so. Instead, you have to first use ConvertLIT to "explode" the file into the OEB format (essentially a set of HTML files) which is then readable via practically any e-book reader (perhaps after further translation).
