PML eBook Format

PML Converter

The PML format was developed by Palm to use with its handheld devices. Palm personal digital assistant (PDA) devices were popular from the mid-1990s up until the late-2000s when they were superseded by smartphones. The most famous model was the PalmPilot. PML stands for Palm Markup Language. The files contained source code that could be compiled into PDB files for Palm’s eReader application. Like other digital markup languages, the code and tags used could signal paragraphs, formatting, indents and section breaks (chapters in the case of ebooks). Unlike similar file types of the time, PML also supported images, allowing people to view pictures in their ebooks.

A disadvantage with earlier Palm ebook formats was that they didn’t include digital rights management copy-protection. Palm devices were also discontinued in 2011, following the success of smartphones and ereaders like the Kindle. However, you can still usually open PML files with Calibre’s ebook management software.

PDB eBook Format

PDB Converter

The PDB format name is short for Palm Desktop Database. Palm was a popular personal desktop assistant (PDA) brand from the mid-1990s up until 2011. PDAs like Palm and BlackBerry were a precursor to smartphones. There were several programs on Palm devices which used the PDB format, including word processors, database or spreadsheet applications, and the Palm ereaders. You can find out what type of program a PDB was created with by opening the file in a text editor.

As smartphones have now replaced PDAs, people tend to use these or a separate ereader for reading ebooks. The PDB format also didn’t have digital rights management (DRM) for authors and publishers to copy-protect their work. While Palm devices are no longer being sold, you can still get the Palm Desktop application for Windows. Other ways of viewing PDB files include with Calibre’s ereader software, or with the XnViewMP graphics application.
