PDB (Palm Database) was the primary ebook format for Palm OS devices and the Palm Reader application. It was one of the earliest widely-adopted portable ebook formats, thriving during the Palm PDA era of the late 1990s and 2000s. PDB files store text with basic markup and are notable for their compact size. Although Palm OS is long defunct, many classic ebook titles from that era survive only in PDB format, making conversion to modern formats essential for continued access.
Converting PDB to TCR involves parsing the proprietary PDB binary structure and reconstructing the text and metadata as a TCR file. Our conversion service uses Calibre, the gold-standard open-source ebook management tool, ensuring that text encoding, chapter markers, and embedded assets are faithfully transferred. The converted TCR file retains the original book's content and structure for use on compatible devices.
TCR is a compressed text format from the Psion Organiser era, optimized for minimal storage on devices with kilobytes of RAM. Converting to TCR is a niche operation primarily of interest to retrocomputing enthusiasts who maintain original Psion or early Symbian devices. The format supports only plain text without styling. For general use, more capable formats like EPUB or TXT are preferable; TCR is reserved for specific legacy hardware targets.
TCR is a legacy format primarily for specific historical hardware. Verify your target device supports TCR before converting. For modern devices, EPUB or MOBI are better choices. Our conversion engine processes PDB to TCR entirely in the cloud — no software installation needed. Files are deleted from our servers within 24 hours of upload.
