FICTIONBOOK to RB conversion is the process of transforming an FB2 (FICTIONBOOK) e-book file—an XML-based format used primarily for fiction and structured e-books—into the RB format used by RB readers and apps. This conversion maps FB2's XML tags, metadata, cover images, and text flows into RB's container and layout requirements so the book displays correctly on RB-compatible devices and apps.
