What to expect
- DRM is the deciding factor: LIT files sold through the Microsoft Store were protected, and those cannot be converted - Microsoft's license servers went offline in August 2012.
- LIT stores text as XHTML with a CSS subset, so basic formatting, chapter structure, and embedded images carry over to EPUB; fine layout details may reflow.
- Most freely convertible LIT files are public-domain classics originally distributed by Project Gutenberg.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a DRM-protected LIT file?
No. Microsoft's DRM license servers shut down on August 30, 2012, so protected LIT files cannot be activated or unlocked on any device today.
Will images and chapters survive the conversion?
Yes, for DRM-free files - the text, chapter structure, and embedded images all transfer to EPUB correctly.
Is Calibre free?
Yes - Calibre is free and open-source with no file limits or conversion caps.
Which LIT files are safe to convert?
DRM-free LIT files convert cleanly - most are Project Gutenberg downloads. Any file that required a Microsoft Passport login to open will not convert.
