What to expect

  • DRM-protected .lit files cannot be converted - Microsoft's licence servers went offline in 2012, so books with active protection are permanently locked.
  • HTMLZ flattens the book into a single HTML file; multi-chapter navigation and some CSS detail may be simplified or lost compared to the original.
  • For a navigable e-book that preserves chapter structure, convert to EPUB instead and use HTMLZ only when you specifically need raw HTML output.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is an HTMLZ file?
It is a ZIP archive containing one index.html file, the book's images, and a stylesheet. Rename it to .zip, extract it, and any browser opens the HTML directly.
My LIT file will not convert - what is wrong?
The most likely cause is DRM. Only DRM-free .lit files convert; books bound to a Microsoft Passport account after 2012 are permanently locked.
Should I convert to HTMLZ or EPUB?
Choose HTMLZ if you want editable raw HTML markup; choose EPUB if you want a proper e-book that preserves chapters and reads well on devices.
Is Calibre free on all platforms?
Yes - Calibre is free and open-source for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
