The problem with this option is that the HTML files that EOS 
uses to generate the LIT files are usually produced by 
Microsoft Word, so they are *very* dirty. After using 
ConvertLit, you end up with files that display words thatare 
connectedtogether likethis all the time, plus other assorted 
formatting issues. These formatting problems look 
particularly bad if you then convert the files to Mobipocket 
format and read them on your Palm, as I do.

I spent *hours* manually editing CoC and PoS to produce 
clean Mobipocket files. I did not buy TSK:B in e-book format 
because I could not face going through all that again. 
Although I may just give in and do it, as well as doing 
TSK:L, because of how good Beguilement was and Legacy is 
expected to be.
