About the output format

When EPUB is the right output

EPUB is the open ebook standard — reflows text, supports tables of contents and metadata, works on every e-reader except Kindle (which uses MOBI/AZW3 natively but converts EPUB on upload). Convert to EPUB when publishing to Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books, or shipping direct-to-reader PDFs / DOCX manuscripts.

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.

LIT to EPUB FAQ

Quick answers about compatibility, quality, metadata handling, and the most common reasons to convert LIT files to EPUB.

Can I convert LIT books to EPUB for my Kindle or Kobo?

Yes. Upload your LIT ebook and iFormat converts it to EPUB with chapter structure, cover art, and formatting preserved. Load the EPUB onto your Kindle, Kobo, Nook, or any eReader that supports the format.

How to convert LIT to EPUB without losing the table of contents

Chapter navigation, the cover image, and text formatting all carry over during conversion. The EPUB has proper chapter links so you can jump between sections on your eReader just like the original LIT.

Can I convert multiple LIT ebooks to EPUB at once?

Yes — upload a batch of LIT files and iFormat converts them all to EPUB. Each book downloads separately or as a ZIP, so you can convert an entire library in one session.

Does the text still reflow after converting to EPUB?

Yes — EPUB keeps text reflowable, so it adapts to any screen size and font setting on your eReader rather than being locked to a fixed page like a PDF.

Which reader is EPUB for?

EPUB is a reflowable ebook format best for Kobo, Apple Books, and Nook. Convert your LIT to EPUB when your eReader or app opens EPUB more reliably, so the whole library works on one device.

Is there a file size limit for LIT to EPUB conversion?

The free plan supports files up to 50 MB, which covers the large majority of LIT files. For longer or higher-resolution files, Starter raises the limit to 100 MB, Plus to 1 GB, and Pro to 5 GB.
