SNB to IPL conversion is the process of transforming an SNB ebook file (a Shelly/NoteBook proprietary or reader-specific snapshot format) into an IPL ebook format, producing an IPL-compatible package that preserves text, layout, and metadata for devices or apps that support IPL. This conversion extracts reflowable or fixed-layout content, images, and annotations from SNB and repackages them into the IPL structure so readers and publishing tools can open and display the book correctly.
