That's too bad. I've been using it to convert .lit files into text files so that I can read them with a speedreader program; however, for a while now, I haven't been able to get it to work on DRM5 files. It keeps tellin' me something about not having a blockbox file, or some such thing.

Still, it was nice to be able to do it while it lasted. Looks like MS has control over how I can make use of the books I buy again. Thank goodness for PalmReader!
