What is LIT (Microsoft Reader)?
LIT (Microsoft Reader) is a proprietary ebook format developed by Microsoft for its now-discontinued Microsoft Reader software. Based on HTML and compressed with a proprietary algorithm, LIT files offered features like digital rights management (DRM), bookmarking, highlighting, and annotations.
LIT files were designed to provide optimal reading experiences on Windows devices with ClearType font technology for improved readability. Though Microsoft discontinued support for this format in 2012, many legacy ebooks still exist in LIT format, particularly academic and technical publications from the early 2000s. Supported extension is .lit.
How to open LIT?
Opening LIT files has become challenging since Microsoft discontinued Microsoft Reader. The original software can still be installed on older Windows systems (Windows XP, Vista), but it's not officially available for modern operating systems.
Currently, the most reliable way to access LIT content is through conversion. Software like Calibre with the appropriate plugins can convert LIT files to more modern formats like EPUB or PDF after removing any DRM (where legally permitted). This allows you to read the content on contemporary devices and applications.

What is EPUB (Electronic Publication)?
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is a widely used open standard for digital e-books and publications. EPUB files are designed to be reflowable, meaning the content adapts to different screen sizes and orientations, making it suitable for a variety of devices including e-readers, smartphones, and tablets.
EPUB supports text, images, and multimedia, and is commonly used for distributing e-books in formats that are easy to read on a wide range of devices. It’s supported by most e-book readers except Amazon Kindle, which uses its own proprietary formats.
How to open EPUB?
EPUB files can be opened with a variety of e-reader applications, such as Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, and Apple Books.
On Windows, Calibre is a popular tool for reading and managing EPUB files, while macOS users can use Apple Books or other third-party apps like Calibre or BookReader.
