XPS to SNB conversion is the process of transforming a Microsoft XPS (XML Paper Specification) document into the SNB format used by Hanvon/Boox e-readers and some Chinese e-reader apps. This conversion preserves the page layout, text, and embedded graphics while re-packaging the content into the SNB container so it can be opened and navigated on devices that support the SNB format.
