How to open BEK file?

An often recurring problem with Shanda Bambook E-book is that BEK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BEK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BEK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Calibre

The first step is to check if the computer has the Calibre program installed. This can be achieved by typing Calibre into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BEK files.

Programs to open BEK file

Remember to download programs supporting BEK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Calibre with BEK files

If, despite the installed application, the BEK file does not start in the Calibre application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BEK file with the Calibre application.

Step 3. Update Calibre to the latest version

If, however, after binding Calibre with Shanda Bambook E-book there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Kovid Goyal page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BEK file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BEK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BEK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BEK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BEK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BEK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BEK except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BEK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BEK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
