www.ereader.com www.fictionwise.com I think it stands for Palm database or Palm Doc Book. It's a secure or unsecure format readable via software or on such devices as Palm Pilots. The software is accessible. There's a rumor going around that it's not and I don't know how it got started. The unsecure formats can be turned into text. I haven't had luck with the secured ones and, frankly, since the software is accessible, I haven't tried that hard. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: E.

I gather it can be used with speech. How? I mean with what program? Thanks. Would folks please also post about other unusual formats and how you use them with speech or convert to something you can read with a braille display. Again thanks. E.
