Mobipocket
The Mobipocket format has unique formatting abilities and is quite popular among users. It is largely based on XHTML and can include JavaScript. It has DRM features that prevent piracy. It also supports native SQL queries for embedded databases.
Microsoft LIT
DRM-protected LIT files are only readable in the proprietary Microsoft Reader program because the .LIT format, which is otherwise similar to Microsoft’s CHM format, also includes Digital Rights Management features. This case makes it easy for other third-party readers, such as Lexcycle Stanza, to read unprotected LIT files.
