Ebook Readers

The other day I received some files that I had never come across before. They were ebooks in a .PDB format. Now .LIT I had often used as I have a Microsoft Reader and had used it on my PDA back when they were cool when I had one. But .PDB files were new to me. Adobe Acrobat wouldn't read it and neither would Microsoft Reader.
After a LOT of googling I finally found two applications that were free and read them. By the way a .PDB file is a Palm Database file. Here is an excellent explanation of how the Palm OS uses files.

The two applications are yBook from SpaceJock and µBook from Gower Point
