There are well-known ebook file formats that you may have already used on your e-reader devices, such as the MOBI, EPUB, PDF, and AZW. These file formats can be read and supported in different types of e-reader devices.Â
But, what if you come across an unfamiliar ebook file format known as LIT? Can you open and read the ebook on your device?
What is LIT File Format?

LIT is a type of ebook file format developed by Microsoft for their Microsoft devices. It stands for Literature. Initially, you can open and read LIT files in the Microsoft Reader tool. However, the Microsoft Reader app is no longer available.

All you have to do is download a .LIT file converter tool or a viewer or reader app that opens such file type on your Windows 10/11 PC, and you can read the content on your LIT ebook.
