AAlmost any of those formats will work for us. I've used pdb, lit,
and pdf as well as standard mp3 formats. The easiest by far is to
download the pdb formats from fictionwise, (since they're not
encrypted as they are directly from f&sf) then run a script on it to
convert it back to text, then use any reader you like. I'd give you
the name of the package I use, but I can't think of it at the
moment. I'll dig it up next time I'm on the linux box, and send it
along.
