LIT is a proprietary eBook file format developed by Microsoft for its Microsoft Reader software. It supports DRM and is known for its compatibility with older Windows devices. PDB (Palm Database) is a format used primarily for eBooks on Palm OS devices, especially with eReader and PalmDoc applications. PDB files are lightweight and widely supported by legacy eBook readers.
