    Thanks penmanila... I will try this at home. I don't own a palm anymore, thats why I wanted to convert all my *.pdb ebooks to html or maybe pdf. I hope this just works.

    PDBs made for iSilo won't work with Pordible. there's an online converter somewhere on the net though.

    surgfish, you can also try the free version of eReader. I like it because I can change fonts and backgrounds. It looks great on a widescreen. Try it out!

    Like Joel said, eReader Pro for Mac is available. I use it both for my laptop and iPhone 3G. ;)
