I tried to explode some older .lit files that I have, using Convert Lit and got an error. Convert Lit 1.5 appears to only function with books downloaded using the current update and activation. I tried using ver 1.4 and this won't open the old files either. I think someone made the comment that if Reader can't open the file, Convert Lit can't either - looks like this is correct.
I would strongly suggest that you convert the new books you have to HTML files to prevent this happening to you again. MS had a great idea with this eBook promotion, but heck they have made it difficult for people. :bad-words:

Very difficult yes, I don't expect the pages of all my paper books to get glued together al of a sudden, and this is the digital equivalent. Rest assured I will be converting any that I get from here on to avoid having this issue again down the line. Not even Microsoft can lock me out of an HTML file.
I've tried c-lit 1.4 and 1.5 but without an activated copy of reader it can't release my imprisoned books. I would try activating a PC with my "old" passport, but I'm over my limit and they won't let me have any more. I've got a big pile of books on my desk with the pages glued toegether!
