How to convert DRM Free eReader to HTML or something else?
How does one convert eReader format that is DRM free into HTML or some other convertible format? Thanks!

BD doesn't work in all cases. So that's a no go for some books.

Have you tried the ABC Amber Palm Converter. It works for most non-DRM eReader files I have tried. The output does have all of your (Jon's) normal complaints about ABC Amber output but it does work most of the time and it is free.

Just a thought, but I think Stanza will do it... I think it will allow you to export any format it can read as an html... though I don't think it will also export images and stuff, so you might loose stuff in the process.

Actually, I think Stanza will export to a multitude of formats, so you could convert from PDB to just about anything, including PDF, Mobi, Word, HTML, RTF, Text, even Kindle. I guess the success of the various conversions will differ, so you can try a few.

Interparse4 seems to work. I just downloaded a free .pdb of "Around the World in 80 Days" from Fictionwise, opened it in Interparse, converted it to HTML, and was able to open it in Firefox. Took less than a minute, not including the download.
Development of Interparse seems to have been abandoned and most links are dead, but I believe there's a working link aroud these forums somewhere. Anybody know for sure whether Fictionwise uses Ereader format for the free Palm format files, or just PalmDOC format? Last edited by wayrad; 10-17-2008 at 08:30 AM. |
