Understanding PDB and EPUB file formats

The PDB file format, also known as Palm Database File, was primarily used for Palm OS applications. It is a container format that can store various types of data, including eBooks, and is now considered somewhat outdated. On the other hand, the EPUB file format is a widely used eBook format that is compatible with most eReaders and devices. EPUB files are based on HTML and CSS, making them flexible and adaptable to different screen sizes.
