RB to SNB conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in RB format (a proprietary or niche reflowable ebook/container format) into SNB format (an ebook package commonly used by certain e-reader ecosystems that supports structured chapters, embedded images and simple styling). This conversion remaps RB's internal structure, metadata, images and fonts into SNB's expected files and manifest so the resulting ebook is readable and properly paginated on SNB-compatible readers.
