What is SNB file?
The file in the SNB format belongs to the Document Files category. In addition to this file, the Document Files category includes 574 related files. Shanda Bambook EBook appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Calibre. This was created by Kovid Goyal.
How to open SNB file?
The most common problem when using Shanda Bambook EBook is that a specific SNB is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SNB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SNB 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Calibre in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SNB files.
Programs to open SNB file
Remember to download programs supporting SNB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Calibre with SNB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SNB file still does not use the Calibre 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Calibre application as the default for handling the SNB file.
Step 3. Update Calibre to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Calibre program with the Shanda Bambook EBook file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Kovid Goyal website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SNB 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 SNB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SNB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SNB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SNB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SNB 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SNB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SNB files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SNB file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SNB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SNB to close. However, some background programs may block the SNB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
