How to Read LIT on Nook
While the Nook e-reader from Barnes & Noble does not support the LIT format for e-books, you can still read your e-books that came with the .lit file extension on the device. You can convert LIT format books to EPUB format, which is supported by the Nook. There are two ways to convert LIT files. You can use a free online conversion tool through the Web, then manually install the e-book to the Nook. Alternatively, you can download a file conversion program like Calibre, convert the file, then load it onto the Nook with a couple of mouse clicks.
