What is a LIT file?
LIT (Microsoft Reader eBook) was a proprietary format developed by Microsoft for its now-discontinued Microsoft Reader software. It supported DRM and was once used for distributing eBooks through the Microsoft Store.
Due to limited support and the discontinuation of Reader, LIT files are now considered obsolete but can still be converted to modern formats using tools like Calibre.
How to open LIT files
LIT files were originally opened with Microsoft Reader, which is now discontinued. You can still open them using Calibre or convert them using tools like AnyConv if DRM-free.
Convert LIT files to EPUB or MOBI to ensure compatibility with modern eReaders.
