This is what should happen. The PDB format can hold a number of different ebook formats, see Wiki: PDB. For FBReader's capabilities, see Electronic Book Formats (supported and unsupported). It handles three PDB ebook types: Plucker, PalmDOC and zTXT. It does not handle iSiloX, which is a proprietary format only supported by its developers.

The updated Digital Reader contentlister uses the filename extension, .pdb, and associates it with FBReader. It should really look inside the file to distinguish between the various PDB formats. This is what FBReader's built in file selector does (it won't even list iSiloX filenames).
