What is a .SNB file?
The open standard for reflowable e-books.
An SNB file is the native ebook format of the Shanda Bambook, a Chinese e-reader sold around 2010 to 2011. The free Calibre ebook manager opens SNB files on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and converts them to EPUB, PDF, or other formats any modern reader can use. If your SNB came from a Samsung Galaxy Note device, it is a Samsung S Note file, an unrelated format opened by the S Note or Samsung Notes app, not Calibre.

Is my .SNB file uploaded anywhere?
No. Your .SNB file is unpacked and displayed for you. Your reading position is remembered for next time.
Can I read Kindle books bought from Amazon?
Only if they're DRM-free. Most purchased Kindle books are copy-protected, and we don't remove DRM. The reader tells you when a file is protected.
Why does my .SNB file look different from the publisher's layout?
For comfortable reading we apply our own typography and drop the file's scripts and most of its styling. Text, headings, images, tables and links are kept.
Can I read comics and manga?
Yes. CBZ and CBT open directly, CBR and CB7 through our archive engine. Switch between single and double pages, fit to width or height, and turn on right-to-left reading for manga.
What about PDF books?
Use our PDF Viewer. It has thumbnails, zoom and full-text search.
