I'm new, but I've read through most of the threads on the iLiad and Sony Reader and Hanlin, it's been very interesting.

I have a question that's very important for me to know before I shell out my hard-earned ducats for any of these very pricey readers (pricey because $500 will get you a laptop through Dell, so effectively what is being paid for is the miniaturization for a reader that can't come close to the capabilities of a laptop computer).

Can any of these handle .lit (MS Reader), .djvu (DejaVu), or .chm (Windows help file) formats? The .chm support is particularly important, a great many tech books come in that format.

Any update on this would be greatly appreciated.
