Hi,
I was evaluating Mobipocket, and I found it difficult to quickly convert my MS Reader .LIT files to the Mobipocket .PRC format. Now, here's the way:
- get ConvertLIT (:google

- extract to c:\clit14 e.g.
- open a Command Line window (Start->Run->"cmd" on NT/2000/XP or "command" on 95/98/ME)
- Type:
Code:
cd <your .lit files directory> [ENTER]
for %i in (*.lit) do c:\clit14\clit.exe %i %i.mp\ [ENTER]
After some wild screen output, all the .lit files have been exploded into seperate directories.
- get and install Mobipocket Publisher from http://www.mobipocket.com/en/Downloa...sPublisher.asp
(actually, you don't really need to do this. all you need is the PublishComponents.dll, and then click start->run->"%windir%\system32\regsvr32 <path to dll>\PublishComponents.dll". I don't want to provide the DLL file though, because I don't know about copyright things with it :?
- get this small VB program http://www.computer-champ.de/CreatePRC.exe
- run the program, open a windows explorer, drag&drop the directory with the .lit files (and the newly created directories in it) into the list box (the empty white space). The name of the directory should appear there
- click "Start"
- WAIT! :mrgreen:
After some minutes (hours?) the program will give a message (all eBooks have been built succesfully, which may not be entirely true
) and you will see a list with .PRC files, and maybe entries with "ERROR: ...opf".
The files with error, well they can't be converted, don't know why. Not even in Mobipocket Publisher it works.
- then go to the file explorer again, right-click on the directory you just dragged and dropped into my program, choose "Search" and enter "*.prc"
- I suggest you cut these files and paste them into a directory that seems convenient to you
That's it
report problems with my program to me, it's still a 5-minutes-hack ...
