In the US the DMCA makes it illegal. However, there are exceptions and such. "I am not a lawyer buy Ricky Mavity is."

Yes, LIT is called MS Reader format. Here are the steps...

1. Download the LIT file.
2. Remove the DRM (google for convertLIT and search here for it)
3. Use calibre to conver the LIT file to .LRF

To do the above you need to download and register MS Reader on your PC. You will also need to download convertLIT and calibre. Once you have done the steps once or twice you will see it takes more time for me to type this message than to buy, remove DRM, convert, start reading.
