SNB to HRZ conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the SNB (a structured, often device-specific ebook bundle) format into the HRZ format, a widely supported ebook package optimized for reflowable text and enhanced layout. This conversion extracts and rewraps text, images, metadata, and navigation so the ebook can be read in HRZ-compatible readers while preserving reading order and cover/TOC data where possible.
