Let's be clear what you are talking about.
Lots of different Palm files have PDB extensions. Palm OS can only store files in Palm Database format in memory. Anything else must reside on a card. Palm OS uses the Creator and Type attributes of the database to know what owns it and what program knows how to use it. In general, all data files on a Palm will have a PDB extension, regardless of the type of data they contain. All program files will have a PRC extension. (To make it more fun, a PRC file doesn't have to be a program. It can be a data file...)
eReader on Palm OS can display files in PML format (a markup language supporting text attributes, fonts, color, images,a nd hyperlinks) and Palm "doc" files, which are plain text files compressed to save memory in a Palm Database format.
So the question is which kind of file you got eReader for the iPhone to display. Was it a PML file or a plain text file? We assume eReader on the iPhone handles PML files. The question is whether it will handle Palm doc files as well.

Naturally, the next question is: does the eReader for iPod Touch work for Palm PDB as well?

I can't imagine why it wouldn't. They have similar hardware and essentially the same OS.
