About the LIT Format

LIT is a proprietary ebook format developed by Microsoft for the Microsoft Reader application, first released in 2000. Based on a compressed HTML format derived from Microsoft's CHM (Compiled HTML Help) technology, LIT files supported ClearType font rendering, annotations, bookmarks, and text reflow. Microsoft integrated its own DRM system into the format to protect commercial ebook content purchased through retail partners.

Microsoft discontinued the Reader application and LIT format in 2012, making it a legacy format that is no longer supported by any actively maintained reading software. Ebooks purchased or created in LIT format can no longer be read natively on modern devices. Converting LIT files to EPUB, PDF, or MOBI is the only way to preserve access to these ebooks on current eReaders, tablets, and computers. DRM-free LIT files can be converted to modern formats, preserving text content, chapter structure, and basic formatting.
