Hi,

Recently got an HTC Touch Pro2 and have installed latest MSREADER because I
have a large collection of ebooks in .lit format. Can anyone recommend an
alternative reader that support .lit as MSreader does not that adaptable e.g
ability to change background, colours etc.

>> .lit reader <<

Since the format is propritary, msreader is the only option to open and
read files in .lit format.

I vaguely remember a .lit utility that would allow conversion to text if
you had the rights to the book... google time.

There are no display settings in the GUI, but are there any tweaks that can
change the background/foreground colurs. I hate reading black on white Smile

Golden Crater's Tiny eBook reader can read unlocked (without DRM) .lit
files. I've had mixed luck with it.

Mobipocket is great. In a post some days ago I've linked to the converters
(e.g., ConvertLIT) that read the LIT format.
