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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Reader with EBO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EBO file still does not use the Microsoft Reader program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Reader application as the default for handling the EBO file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Reader to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Reader program with the Microsoft Reader EBook Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EBO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 EBO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EBO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EBO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EBO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EBO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 EBO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EBO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EBO file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
