PDB

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.

MOBI

MOBIOUT

MOBI is the format Amazon built its early Kindle library on, after buying it from Mobipocket. Books in it keep bookmarks, highlights and your place in the text, and Kindle hardware from that era reads them directly. Newer Kindles moved on to AZW3, so MOBI now matters mainly when an older device or a reading app of the same vintage is still in service. If you inherited a shelf of .mobi files, converting them to EPUB or AZW3 keeps those books readable on current hardware.
