How to read Forex e-books in FB format
If you enjoy reading e-books on your computer, you sometimes get the impression that programmers are constantly creating new formats for these same books.
Just when you've downloaded and gotten the hang of a DJVU reader , new formats pop up all over again.
For example, Facebook's "FictionBook" format, the so-called XML format, is primarily used for reading fiction books due to its limited functionality.
After downloading forex books in this format, they flatly refuse to open with the default programs on your computer.
How can I open and read a FB file?
There are actually several options for solving this problem, and you can use the one that is most convenient for you:
To open a file, you can simply drag it into the browser window; the file will open, but will you want to read it?
Because in addition to the text of the book itself, there will be a lot of service information in the form of tags.
This option is suitable if you want to copy a specific fragment of text or just get acquainted with the content.
The most correct one – convert a book in FB format to PDF and do not use a special program for reading.
You can do this on various websites by typing "convert FB to PDF" into the search bar, then upload the file to the website, convert it, and download everyone's favorite PDF.
By the way, the conversion is pretty good: all the images are preserved, and the book is also four times smaller in size. My 41 megabyte file was reduced to 10 megabytes.
Program – and finally, the one defined by the creators of the format itself. That is, through the use of a program for reading books in FB format.
There are many programs for these purposes, one of which is FBReader, which you can download from the link below.
