That's right, Freda doesn't support LIT, DOC or PDF. My reasons for that decision:
- I believe that EPUB is the emerging standard; in the future, any book that's published will be published in EPUB (and there are solutions to the DRM question)
- Adding other book types would make the program code more complex (meaning a bigger, slower program with more bugs)
- LIT and DOC can be satisfactorily converted to EPUB using Calibre
- Calibre will also do a decent job of converting PDF, given the inherent limitations of the PDF format
Anyhow, it's open-source code, so anyone wanting support for LIT, DOC, PDF. MOBI, RTF, PDB ... (complete the list as you prefer) can always write a version of Freda that does it
Thanks for your interest in Freda,
Jim
