The LIT file type was created by Microsoft to be used exclusively for ebooks that are formatted using the Microsoft Reader software. It is a native format for files that are created and shared on the Microsoft Reader software platform. The LIT file type supports most versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. The main advantages of this digital format are that it supports text formatting, images, tables, links, and references.
LIT (eBook File) Features
The LIT ebook file can is a compressed archive containing the actual content of the book. It also includes details about the digital rights management scheme and the metadata for the book. The files typically include images and text with intricate formatting. The advanced proprietary formatting is protected by the Digital Rights Management features so that the reader is unable to easily copy or share content in this format.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LIT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .LIT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .LIT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .LIT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .LIT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LIT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LIT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .LIT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LIT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LIT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
