Alternative to MSreader

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.

Re: Alternative to MSreader

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 :)

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

Re: Alternative to MSreader

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