Converting any word document into a lit format with MS Word is so easy and quick that I have transfered litterly hundreds of documents and other format literture into .lit and it has never let me down.
Just my .47cents worth.

Okay, but you both seem to be missing the point. I'm not talking about converting other file types (such as WORD documents) into LIT, but rather LIT files into another file type. Why? Because some people (myself included) prefer to use uBook for many reasons -- forkyfork listed a bunch of them.
However, uBook does not support LIT files. So, what is one to do? Well, you could convert the LIT file into a file type that uBook is capable of opening. What file types would those be? How about HTML, TXT, RTF, PDB and PRC. Ah, so then I could read the file in uBook. Exactly.
Therefore, I can take a LIT file and using a free program like ABC Amber LIT Converter, export it as an HTML file. Now, I can read it in uBook instead of having to read it in MSReader. And this I prefer because MSReader is very limited in its options. Whereas with uBook, I have much more control over how the pages display on my PDA.
And so ends another saga of
'uBook, How I Love Thee, Even If You Can't Open LIT Files, But Thankfully There Is A Free Conversion Program'.
