Convert PDB EBOOK to DBK

The PDB (Palm Database) file extension, associated with PalmDoc eBooks, is a format used for storing eBooks on Palm OS devices. Originating from AportisDoc, PalmDoc files are plain ASCII text compressed using Run-Length Encoding (RLE) to save memory space. These files are decompressed on the fly by PalmDoc readers, facilitating efficient storage and quick access. The PDB format, with its Creator ID and Type attributes, ensures compatibility across various Palm applications, making it a versatile choice for eBook distribution on Palm devices.

The DBK file extension stands for DocBook Technical Document, a semantic markup language used for creating technical documentation in a format-neutral way. Initially developed for computer hardware and software documentation, it allows content to be easily converted into various formats like HTML and PDF. DocBook has become a standard for technical documentation due to its flexibility and open-source nature.
