I've just installed the eReader program on my 6120, and I'm wanting to read some of the .pdb files that should work with the program.

However no matter where I place the .pdb file it won't show up in the program.

If anyone would be able to help me find out where I need to place the file/how to install the .pdb I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

Same here - no answer from Fictionwise & I'd really like to finish 2 (of about 60) eBooks I've bought from them & PalmDigitalMedia over the years...
Anyone know of another reader that will decode the secure .pdb format used by eReader (they unlock with username & credit card #)
Thanks in advance!

OK. The fix is, place your eBook .pdb files in the (expansion card) folder :\DATA\Others and, on next launch, eReader will find the ebooks.
