| Description | A comic book archive or comic book reader file (also called sequential image file) is a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, commonly for comic books. The idea was made popular by the CDisplay sequential image viewer; since then, many viewers for different platforms have been created. | The .lit file type was developed and released by Microsoft in 2000. As with a number of Microsoft file formats, the main drawbacks of the format centred around its lack of compatibility with other devices. The format was wound down in 2011 with sales ceasing and the format was dropped in August 2012. |
| Technical details | Comic book archive files mainly consist of a series of image files, typically PNG (lossless compression) or JPEG (lossy compression) files, stored as a single archive file. Occasionally GIF, BMP, and TIFF files are seen. Folders may be used to group images. Comic book archive files are not a distinct file format; only the file name extension differs from a standard file of the given archive type. | The format was designed for use solely by the Microsoft Reader application. The format is therefore incompatible with a number of popular eBook devices such as the Amazon Kindle and iBooks. |
