Just encase anyone else was interested. I have found a way of getting access to protected .lit ebooks. The books I was having particular difficulties with were in DRM5.
The programs called clit. There are 2 versions both free, one uses a command prompt and is the original program, the other was designed by someone else and is a GUI version for those of us that can't remember good old Dos.
The program converts the .lit into html with headings for chapters and sections.
The only major problem is that if you want to access DRM protected books you will need someone sighted on hand. this is because when you convert your first book the Microsoft ebook reader needs to be loaded and you have to open a book within it so that clit can generate a code. But once youve done that you don't have to do it again and the process is then fully accessible as the ebook reader never has to load again.
I don't consider what I've done to be illegal as I'm only making accessible versions of books that I've bought. Hope the moderaters will agree. I've bought 3 star trek books and had great fun in reading them.
