What is a LIT (Microsoft Reader eBook) file?

Microsoft Reader eBook (LIT) is a discontinued e-book format built around a modified Compiled HTML Help container. Its selling point was ClearType rendering, which made text noticeably easier to read on the low-resolution screens of the early 2000s, and it supported bookmarks, annotations, and optional DRM. Microsoft withdrew Microsoft Reader in 2012, leaving LIT a legacy format.

How to open a LIT file?

Microsoft Reader is no longer distributed, so the practical route is Calibre, which opens DRM-free LIT files and converts them to EPUB, MOBI, or PDF.

Books that carry Microsoft’s DRM cannot be opened at all now that the activation servers have been shut down. If you have an archive of LIT books, converting them to EPUB is the safest way to keep them readable. You can also convert the file with our LIT to EPUB tool.

What is a PDF (Portable Document Format) file?

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that comprises characteristics of both text documents and graphic images which makes it one of the most commonly used file types today. The reason PDF is so widely popular is that it can preserve original document formatting. PDF files always look identical on any device or operating system.

How to open a PDF file?

Most people head right to Adobe Acrobat Reader when they need to open a PDF. Adobe created the PDF standard and its program is certainly the most popular free PDF reader out there. It's completely fine to use, but I find it to be a somewhat bloated program with lots of features that you may never need or want to use.

Most web browsers, like both Chrome and Firefox, can open PDFs themselves. You may or may not need an add-on or extension to do it, but it's pretty handy to have one open automatically when you click a PDF link online. I highly recommend SumatraPDF or MuPDF if you're after something a bit more. Both are free.
