RB Converter
RB (RocketBook) was the ebook format used by the NuvoMedia RocketBook, one of the first dedicated e-readers released in 1998. The RocketBook predated Kindle by nearly a decade and represented an early attempt at creating a portable device specifically for reading digital books. The format stored text and basic formatting optimized for the RocketBook's small monochrome screen. While primitive by today's standards, it was revolutionary at the time - a device that could hold dozens of books and fit in your hand. The RB format included features like bookmarks, annotations, and text search, which were impressive capabilities in the late 90s. NuvoMedia was acquired by Gemstar in 2000, and the RocketBook was eventually discontinued. The RB format disappeared with the device, making it one of the earliest obsolete ebook formats. If you have RB files from the RocketBook era, converting to modern formats like EPUB or PDF is the only way to access that content on current devices.
