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.

PDF

PDFOUT

A PDF fixes the page. Fonts, margins, columns and image placement come out identical on every screen and printer, which is why manuals, textbooks, sheet music and anything built around diagrams travel this way. The trade-off is that the text does not reflow, so a page designed for A4 turns into pinching and scrolling on a small reader. Use PDF when the layout itself carries meaning, and convert it to EPUB or AZW3 when you would rather have text that resizes to the screen.
