After MS has dropped the .lit format now they renounce also at Microsoft Reader...
"CLOSING THE BOOK
Microsoft is discontinuing Microsoft Reader effective August 30, 2012, which includes download access of the Microsoft Reader application from the Microsoft Reader website. However, customers may continue to use and access the Microsoft Reader application and any .lit materials on their PCs or devices after the discontinuation on August 30, 2012. New content for purchase from retailers in the .lit format will be discontinued on November 8, 2011. "

I remember what big sensation was the appearance of C LIT, afaik back in 2002 - 2003, a tool that can decompile .lit files back into their html source and OEB package file.
