what software do I need to run e-book programmes with a suffix .lit on a Mitac A201?

Hello,

Get MSReader (www.mslit.com) and then head on over to the eBook forum (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=51).

If the books have DRM, you will have to obtain licenses through the regular (legal) methods, which are generally not free.

Some versions of WM have weird issues with registering licenses for MSReader, but there are many tips about that already posted here.

If you already have licenses for the books on your desktop, or if the files aren't locked, it would probably be faster and easier to change them into a simpler format using ConvertLIT and reading them with uBook. I can't give you a link to ConvertLIT due to screwy PPCT rules, but if you Google search you'll find it. uBook is available from GowerPoint.com.

Many thanks, seems to work ok. Had trouble with the MS activation, but it runs ok without it.

Ralph,
You'll only have difficulty reading a .lit book if it has a DRM license attached to it. There are thousands of e-books that are available that you'll be able to read. I've been using my MSReader for a few years now and have never had a need to register it.
