I buy .lit ebooks (assuming there's no DRM-free format for sale) because it's pretty easy to remove DRM from them. As sassanik mentioned, .lit is quite easy to convert to other formats.
I used to read on my PSP which has very limited format support and no support of any kind for DRM'd ebooks. I use ConvertLIT to unDRM my purchased ebooks and explode it to oebps folder. I then open the actual .html file in a web browser and print to a PDF file tailored to the PSP's screen dimensions (I tried Amber converter but it didn't retain formatting). Now that I have an iPhone, I convert my unDRM'ed .lit files to .epub using Calibre.
Whether what I do is legal or not is questionable. It's likely illegal, but morally, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. I don't share my unDRM'ed purchased ebooks with anyone. I just remove the DRM so I can enjoy reading my purchased ebooks on the device of my choosing.
