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.
LRFOUT
LRF is Sony's own ebook format, also known as BBeB or BroadBand eBook, used across the Sony Reader line before the company switched to EPUB. It handles reflowed text, images, embedded fonts and simple styling, which covered what those devices were sold to do. You will mostly meet LRF in libraries bought from the old Sony store or synced onto a PRS-series reader. Convert it when you want those titles on hardware that never spoke Sony's format.
