Default Please help PDB?

I just downloaded a rar archive witch contained a PDB file. I tried to open the file with PDB CONVERTER, PDB EXPLORER, DOC READER, PDB READER, PDB VIEWER, but it didn't work.
Is there any chance to view this file on my PC (Windows XP)?
Thanks
Camil

PDB files are Palm Databases. You need to know what kind of Palm Database it is, and then find a program that will view that format. If it's an ebook, then Palm Digital Media's Palm Reader will likely do the trick, and there's a Windows version for download.

or it could be in iSilo format (free and commercial reader at www.isilo.com) or weasel format or plucker format or tomeraider format or ...

Tell us from where it can be downloaded and I'll check it out.

My money's on the file (if you're expecting it to be an ebook) being an isilo document. These are readable on both palms/pocketpc/desktop but you'll have to download the right isilo reader.

As iSilo books are not DRM'ed, let us know if it's good... and post the link!
