PDB Converter
PDB (Palm Database) was the ebook format for Palm OS devices - the PDAs and smartphones that were popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. Before iPhones and Android existed, Palm Pilots dominated mobile computing, and PDB was the format for reading ebooks on those devices. Several ebook readers for Palm used PDB, including Palm Reader and eReader. The format stored text and basic formatting in Palm's database structure, designed for the limited memory and screens of those early mobile devices. PDB ebooks were often much simpler than modern formats - text-focused with minimal formatting - but they worked well on the small, low-resolution screens of Palm devices. Palm OS died out as smartphones evolved, making PDB effectively obsolete. However, people who were early ebook adopters may still have PDB collections from that era. Converting PDB to modern formats like EPUB or MOBI rescues these legacy ebooks and makes them readable on current devices with better screens and formatting capabilities.
