ELECTRONIC Publication to RB conversion is the process of transforming an EPUB (ELECTRONIC Publication) ebook file—typically a zipped package of XHTML, images, CSS and metadata—into the RB format used by RB-compatible readers or applications. This conversion repackages and re-encodes the content, layout and assets so the resulting RB file preserves navigation (table of contents), text flow and images while matching RB's container and rendering expectations.

DRM-protected EPUBs must have DRM removed by the user with a legal tool before conversion; converters cannot process encrypted content.
