RB (Rocket Book) is the format used by the Rocket eBook, one of the first commercial e-readers, manufactured by NuvoMedia and released in 1998. The Rocket eBook preceded Amazon Kindle by nearly a decade and established many conventions for portable digital reading. RB files have very limited styling and are tied to the Rocket eBook hardware. Converting RB files to modern formats is a preservation effort to make early digital book history accessible on current devices.
