Microsoft Reader & iPAQ 4700 - mutually exlusive..?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

How is it possible to read ebooks in .lit format on the iPAQ 4700?

I downloaded Microsoft Reader but I can only read ebooks on my PC. The
installer said my PPC's OS was too old! (Windows CD 4.21)

Any help gratefully received.

kind regards, Dave.

Dear Victor Meldrew,

I have friends that say it is a waste of time doing things too. It's
not always right for me (even if it is for them)- but the way to find
out is to try. Is an email too hard for you to try, you prefer to moan
without having tried?

If MS don't get emails from people with earlier programs saying they
want compatability then they are justified in not providing support- no
one asks them to provide it. You may be your own worst enemy and be
providing the proof that no one wants just what you really do want.

As soon as I buy any ebooks in .lit format I use ConvertLIT to remove
its DRM protection. This is purely for my personal convenience. For this
reason I never have any problems regarding using wrong versions of Reader.

I have a hx4700 and it would view the instruction manual, but if I opened
Encarta, it locked up my PPC. How did you resolve this matter?
