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.
