How to Open the .CBR extension file

by gedet basumatary on January 6, 2009

Hi friends, yesterday I was downloading some files from the Internet. Later when the downloading was completed I was shocked to see some unknown .cbr extension file. So I started searching in the Internet how to open the .cbr extension file. At last I found out, how to open it.

Since I know that many people also doesn’t know this extension. So I thought to share with you. .cbr file extensions or file types are meant for e-books. To open them, just use any unzipping program. Zip or Winrar works. Don’t rename them, just open it with the program, and it will get open.

By the way, did your ever encounter any such files. If you ever get one and this method helps you then don’t forget to thank me :)

Hey Xavier, you are welcome buddy. This cbr file extension is commonly not used, so many people are not aware of it.
