It was aggravating to find an important piece of information missing: how to make your own .LIT ebook. Now that's been solved.

[edit] alternate .lit file readers?

Are there any alternate programs for reading .lit text files? Which are they? --h_a 22:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I would also like to see some alternative programs listed. --Krbrowning 00:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that there are any — .LIT files include DRM, which makes this pretty much impossible. I know that there used to be a program to break the DRM — it turned the .LIT file into a directory of HTML documents. That's the only other program that reads the format that I'm aware of. —Tom W.M. 03:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Some alternate readers/projects on this subject are these: ConvertLITdotcom and ABC Amber LIT Converter. --h_a 20:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Try Tiny eBook Reader --124.120.189.206 09:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

The LIT format was not based on MS HTML help.
