Did You Know? 🤔

PDB (Palm Database) is an eBook file format that was originally developed for Palm OS devices and was used for Palm Digital Media eBooks.

EPUB is an open standard format for eBooks that is widely supported across most e-readers, tablets, and smartphones except Kindle devices.

While PDB files are optimized for older Palm devices with reflowable text, EPUB files offer enhanced reading experiences on modern devices.

Converting from PDB to EPUB creates an eBook that can be easily read on almost any device including iPads, Android tablets, Nook, Kobo, and more.

EPUB files support features like enhanced typesetting, embedded fonts, and reflowable content, providing a better reading experience than older formats.
