I am summoning this topic from the dead. It was discussed once already, but nothing has come of that discussion.
To summarize:
- .lit files are "Microsoft Reader" ebooks.
- There are those among us that would like to read .lit files portably
- The only solution is to either convert the books (which breaks many of them) to another format or install MS reader on every machine.
So how about it, Portable Apps people? Can you find a way to make .lit files readable by any windows machine I plug my drive into?
Love and kisses!

I also wants to read .lit files portably...

I don't have a signature
Should I have a signature?
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
I think we have enough for a .lit jihad
Love and kisses!

I have dozens of .lit files I carry with me only because there in my documents folder which is synced with the rest of my files.
It would be OUTSTANDING to be able to read them portably like I can my .doc's and .pdf's

As stated in the other thread, .lit is a proprietary format that is only supported by Microsoft Reader. You either have to suck it up and deal with that fact or pick ebooks in a better, open format from another vendor.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
A quick Google search turned up this utility. Might be worth a shot.

and tiny ebook reader (for pocketpc and smartphone only...)

I know that's not super-helpful and c lit probably already was mentioned at least once...
