Yes.

You can use a program put out by Overdrive. This will create the
LIT formatted book. You have to start with converting your
word processor file to html before the conversion process
can be complete. Originally we converted our files using
Microsofts html conversion app which is part of their Word
program. However, we found too many errors. We now convert
the files using the same program, but then run the html-tidy program
in Note Pad Pro to correct the errors. Seems to work well.

Microsoft has now added a text-to-speech
program that actually reads the book to you if you wish.

Adobe has a program called the Adobe E-book reader program
that does virtually the same thing. The only difference is that
you will have to crop the pdf pages, created directly from your
word processor (MS Word), to make them work well in the
E-book reader program.

Both programs do an excellent job.

We are now publishing our books in both of the above formats.

Good luck,

George Shaddock, Publisher
London Circle Publishing
