Both formats, briefly
PDBIN
PDB started life as the file container for Palm OS handhelds and became one of the first practical ways to carry novels in a pocket. The name covers several book layouts packed inside that container, PalmDOC and eReader among them, each holding the text, light formatting and bookmarks. Palm devices disappeared long ago, so a .pdb book usually surfaces from an old backup or memory card. Run it through the converter to get EPUB, AZW3 or PDF that a current reader will open.
HTMLZOUT
HTMLZ is a book packed as ordinary web files: the HTML holding the text, a stylesheet, and the images, zipped together into one archive. Nothing sits behind a proprietary container, so this is the format to pick when you want to edit a book by hand, feed it to your own publishing script, or inspect how the markup came out of an earlier conversion. Calibre reads and writes it, which makes it a comfortable stopping point between two other formats. Choose HTMLZ when the file is a working copy rather than the version someone will read.
