The Free Amber LIT converter requires me to convert to PDF and then I can use MobiCreator, but Amber screws up the formatting in a big way.

Is there another conversion package that is available to do this?

Cheers and thanks

My two recommended choices
1) Use a tool called MobiPerl this converts several formats to MOBI. In this tool kit there is a LIT2MOBI executable that can convert your LIT to MOBI.
2) Also Clit with Mobi creator. With CLIT explode the LIT file. It will create a OPF file. Then import that to MobiCreator and create the MOBI file.

My experience is option 1 is faster than option 2, by a few minutes. But option two seems more reliable. (Note LIT2MOBI seems to handle professionally developed LIT its when I use WordRMR that LIT2MOBI does not work)
