    I have an IPAQ with Microsoft reader on it (and Mobi Pocket) running Windows Mobile 2002. There are a number of ebooks I would like to read. However, they are in .PDB format. I can't find any software to convert them to Reader format, or any program to read them in PDB format. Any suggestions?

    I've already got the eReader. The other one does not seem to work for IPAQ 3835 and it doesn't mention .PDB file types. Thanks.

    Is it a Microsoft eReader?

    Yes. It is the Microsoft eReader

    There's your problem.

    .PDB format ebooks are not for the Microsoft eReader - that's why it doesn't find them. Microsoft reader format books have the extension .LIT - if you had a .LIT
    format ebook, Microsoft reader will find it and it will show up automatically on the
    opening page.

    So the links I gave you should allow you to download a reader that will access .PDB format ebooks.

    I realize that. I have downloaded many readers in an attempt to get the PDB files to load. None, to date, recognize the file format. I am getting my books from manybooks.net. Even when I select the eReader as the fieltype to download, it downloads as PDB and I can't read it. If you have a reader that can reader them I would be most appreciative to find out what it is.
    BTW: I am running PocketPC2002
