Both formats, briefly
LITIN
LIT was Microsoft's ebook format, built on its Compressed HTML Help technology and read through the Microsoft Reader app. Files reflow their text and can carry bookmarks, annotations and DRM. Microsoft retired Reader in 2012, so almost nothing shipping today will open a .lit file, and the format survives mostly in collections assembled in the 2000s. Send one through the converter to get a copy that your phone, tablet or e-reader can actually display.
HTMLZOUT
HTMLZ is a book packed as ordinary web files: the HTML holding the text, a stylesheet, and the images, zipped together into one archive. Nothing sits behind a proprietary container, so this is the format to pick when you want to edit a book by hand, feed it to your own publishing script, or inspect how the markup came out of an earlier conversion. Calibre reads and writes it, which makes it a comfortable stopping point between two other formats. Choose HTMLZ when the file is a working copy rather than the version someone will read.
