Well, I do have .01 and .02 so one of them will work where the other doesn't.

Unhappy help needed with converlit
Hi
I have loaded ms reader on my laptop. I have downloaded the free book. I have installed the convertlit gui on the laptop. The book downloaded to microsoft reader and when i try to extract lit files the only one that comes up is the microsoft reader not the book. There seems to be no way of saving the book somewhere else and I don't know what to do - please help as otherwise this sony reader is wortless to me!

What do you mean "the only one that comes up is the Microsoft Reader not the book". Please elaborate.

re converting microsoft reader
The book was saved into the MS Reader library and I cannot click on it to extract or do anything else with it. When I do extract lit files it only extracts the ms reader help not the book - the book does not come up at all. maybe i need more basic step by step instructions! I did get the key that people were on about but am lost. Please help.

Don't use the add-on GUI. Use ConvertLIT from the command line with the LIT, ConvertLIT binary and key file all in the same directory.

re converting files
Does that mean I have to download convert lit again without the GUI. Sorry about this but I really am a newbie to all of this and it's all greek to me! Am thinking of buying an ebookman now but need to make sure that it can get the right formats without this converting

ConvertLIT comes without a GUI. The GUI is an add-on. The binary you want to run is clit.exe.

Calm down!

I'm not sure you've located the actual .lit file?

When you downloaded the .lit file, I'd expect it'd have got saved in the "My Documents\My Library" folder, so have a look in there to find it, then try ConvertLIT (the GUI or the command-line option) on it?

re converting
Thanks for that - finally found the lit file where you said and did convert lit thing on it. Got error message failed to move file 00 font to c and failed to move file 01-body-1 to c. Not sure where to go now so it would be great if someone could give me detailed steps. Thanks

Read the readme.txt file that comes with convertlit. Follow the directions to make your keys.txt file. Once you have that run clit at the command line and read the command line to downconvert a lit file. Do that. Once you have the downconverted file import it into calibre. Then, selet the file in calibre and press the convert button. Once the job is done (see bottom right hand corner) use the save to disk feature to write the files out somewhere. Now you should have a usable .lrf file.

You HAVE to run ReaderKeyRecoveryTool from the command line. The GUI won't help. In fact, I find the GUI (an add-on that should never have been written) to be more hassle then it's worth.

If you want to "Explode" LIT files to OPF (which those of us who are converting to Mobi format do), the GUI works very well indeed.

A lot of people think running the GUI is how you do it. When you have to read the readme and follow the directions which means no GUI to get the key. I find it a lot easier to use the command line then the GUI. Sometimes a GUI is just in the way.
