The .mobi filename extension is an eBook file format developed by French company MobiPocket for their ebook readers for mobile phones and PDAs. The company was later acquired by book reseller and online store company Amazon in 2005, a deal which included the mobi format asset. The mobi file format is mostly associated with the mobipocket software package as well as early versions of Amazon's kindle ebook reader device. The format is considered cross platform given its compatibility with several devices including most smartphones that have compatible readers installed. But although mobi files still exist in circulation, the format was superseded by Amazon's AZW format when support and further development of mobi ceased in 2011.
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 mobi file format extends the popular HTML specification adding DRM protection support. It includes advanced file navigation support such as indexing, book marks, notes, and annotations. The format is adapted to reflowing content layout to optimally use the screen size of its device, but it has a hard limitation of 64 kilobytes for images which may cause image files to incorrectly display on larger displays such as tablets and pc monitors.
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.
