LIT converter

LIT conversions all need the optional server worker, which is not enabled on this deployment. Everything below still explains the format, and the ebook converter linked below lists every conversion that does run in your browser.

No LIT conversion runs in this browser today. Browser-based ebook conversions are listed on the ebook converter page.
