PALM to SNB conversion is the process of transforming image files in the PALM format into the SNB image/document package used by certain e-reader and note-taking ecosystems. This conversion repackages image data and metadata so SNB-compatible readers can display, paginate, or annotate the original PALM content while preserving layout and image quality where possible.
