Nope ...

... I don't know any other (GPLed) reader with MS ebook support and You'll never find a portable version of the MS reader here, cause it is closed source.

I will be easy on you.

Please check before you request an app.

First, we only do Open Source stuff around here. AFAIK nothing that Microsoft does is open source.

Secondly, please search before you post. This has been mentioned many, many times before. Search results: https://portableapps.com/search/node/ebooks

Third, maybe this should have been first, please read the Un-Official Request Apps Guidelines

Convert LIT

MS Reader can't legally be made portable. But you can use Convert LIT to get your ebooks out of the proprietary LIT format and then use it with other readers.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
