The .lit filename extension, short for literature, is a proprietary filename extension of the eBook file format LIT developed by Microsoft. The format was initially released in 2000 and at the time was only compatible with Microsoft Reader. Though DRM support was one of the strong selling points of the LIT format, wide spread DRM circumvention discounted its utility in favor for competing open formats. This among other reasons caused Microsoft to officially discontinue support for the format by 2011 and cease further sales of eBooks based on the format completely by 2012.
The ePub format is one of the many open source eBook file formats available. Initially released in 2007, it succeeded the legacy Open eBook format. The format was first defined by the Open eBook forum, part of the international digital publishing forum. EPUB digital books and publications all have the associated .epub extension and can be opened and viewed on any compatible device, software application, smartphone, or dedicated reader. The format is capable of optimizing the resolution of digital publications to suite the resolution of the device being used, making it inherently a 'reflowable' format.

The LIT format was extended from Microsoft's compiled HTML help format. The format includes support for digital rights management to enforce copyright material. This is however an optional feature. The format had no support for editing or exporting but in later years software programs were developed that allowed LIT files to be converted into formats that supported these features.
The EPUB or electronic publication format is formally standardized in ISO/IEC TS 30135. Its structure is an extension of XHTML and XML and has optional support for cascaded style sheets. The format allows for documents that contain images either in raster or vector graphics format. Digital rights management is also supported.
