What is a .LRF file?
LRF is a Sony BBeB e-book, used by early Sony Reader devices.
- Did you know
- LRF was the format of Sony’s e-readers before EPUB took over.
- LRF is part of Sony and Canon’s BBeB, short for “Broad Band eBook”, first used on the Sony Librié reader.
- An LRF holds an unencrypted book, whereas the related .lrx extension carries the DRM-protected version of the same format.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more document, ebook and publishing files: Scribus (.sla/.scd version, pages, fonts), MS Works and Windows Write, Word 97 templates (.dot), StarOffice 5.x binary docs, Shanda Bambook and Sony BBeB (.lrf/.lrx) ebooks, FrameMaker, document templates and legacy PageMaker.
- Depth of analysis
- .LRF is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .LRF file
- Drag a .LRF file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
