What is FB2 file?
FB2 (FB2) is an open XML-based e-book format, defined by the Collective Development of Western Electronic Literature (CDWEL). It was designed as a cross-platform alternative to other popular e-book formats such as CHM, PDB, and EPUB. FB2 is a relatively simple, open, well-documented format that allows authors and publishers to create platform- and device-independent electronic documents. [ ⏩ ] FB2 file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from PMLZ to FB2?
To successfully convert the PMLZ file to FB2, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.PMLZ). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case FB2 (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than FB2).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. PMLZ to FB2. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting PMLZ files to FB2 files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension FB2, while before this step we had the PMLZ file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new FB2 file, or not.
