Thanks for the heads-up on the new .pdb format.
I just checked and noticed the 'Kindle compatible (MOBI)' download format which converts well with my
Mobi2IMP to create a .IMP with cover image!
For a test ebook, selecting the 'Kindle compatible (MOBI)' delivers 'Verne-80-Days.prc', whereas selecting 'Mobipocket (PRC)' deilvers 'Verne-80-Days-mo.prc'. The eReader "
PalmDOC" (.PDB) delivers 'Verne-80-Days.pdb'
Only the first format (MOBI) has a cover image; neither of the latter two has a cover image.
Here is the verbose output when the 'Kindle compatible (MOBI)' .PRC is converted to .IMP:
