I WANT TO ACCESS SOME MEDICAL BOOKS WHICH ARE IN THE *.PDB ( NOT PDF ) FORMAT ( PALM DOCUMENT FORMAT ) ON MY MAC RUNNING OS X.
I AM UNABLE TO FIND ANY READER SOFTWARE WHICH WILL LET ME OPEN THESE *.PDB FILES ON MY MAC RUNNING OS X.

I CAME ACROSS eReader Software from
http://www.ereader.com/product/browse/software
WHICH CLAIMS THAT IT CAN READ *.PDB FILES ON A MAC.... BUT SINCE THE OS VERSION IS NOT MENTIONED, I AM WARY OF INSTALLING IT.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A SOFTWARE WHICH WILL LET ME READTHESE FILES IN *.PDB FORMAT ON MY MAC AND HAS ANYONE USED THIS EREADER TO ACCESS *.PDB FILES.

ANY HELP WITH THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. KINDLY EMAIL ME AT "dr (dot) abheek (@) gmail (dot) com"

regards...

First, all capital letters means you're yelling. You should really read up on netiquette.

Second, I found this over at MacUpdate, but I don't know if that's what you want. Googling didn't turn up much, but you might try it yourself and see if you have better luck.

This is a free software (for the reader version only). Some love it, some hate it. Not sure if .pdb is supported, but worth a try. I needed to open a .bin file right after I got my Mac, did a "Google" to find it, downloaded and installed and did what I needed it to.

The dumbest key on these keyboards has to be the "Caps Lock". Should be forever removed. Please refrain from its use as it is considered YELLING. Just a courtesy explanation.

I'm sorry for the all caps thing and I am thankful for your help with this problem.
But the software suggested by Thinine does not solve my problem. I need a *.pdb viewer to view *.pdb files on the MAC and not on the Palm device.
Can anyone tell me if "eRearder" from " http://www.ereader.com/product/browse/software " will solve my problem.

Thank you all for your help.

With best regards....
