LIT is Microsoft's format for ebooks. It's was around long before EPUB or MOBI ever existed. Most of the books I have purchased are LIT. I like LIT because it looks very much like a real book on a desktop and is a very nice reading experience. LIT ebooks opens in the Microsoft Reader program and has some nice features.
I was disappointed to learn that LIT did not work well with the Pocket Pro. It's an old format so really it should be working. However I have since found it's super easy to convert a LIT book in Calibre to EPUB so that's what I do. Anywhere you see Microsoft Reader format being sold those are LIT books. |

I've just ordered a Mentor, and was wondering if it's possible to include the support for a USB WiFi dongle, e.g. to make a simple web browser which can be used with the dongle. Probably a silly question...

Have the 6" mentor (lite?) be able to landscape itself both ways, I'm right handed, so it would be better if I could set the landscape so that the arrows/ok button are on the right.
also have it remember your place so that if you power it off with a book open, and turn it back on, it picks up where you left off. Last edited by warpwar; 08-31-2010 at 07:43 PM. |

Only got one request: fix the space problem!
All my books have spaces in their titles and/or folder. Because of that, bookmarks won't stick if I go to another book. |

Also, make the mentor have a lock function like the pocket pro.

I need a firmware for Mentor, but I can't find any firmware for e-readers on www.astak.com anymore. It was there a few days ago. What happened?

Wow, and I didn't notice that there's no longer an International section, which is what I used to order my EZ Reader! |
