The CyBook has never been able to read eReader books. In fact, no eInk device will read this format.
See... That's the problem with not having a current-firmware-version Cybook to hand. The one I'm nursing along in hopes of getting it updated has such old firmware (0.91) that it won't read *anything* but non-secure mobipocket files or plain text files. I can't test any of my html or pdb-stored ebooks to see.

As soon as I stumbled across BookDesigner, I switched from eBook Studio to BD because I really wanted to be able to create pdb-Palmdoc, prc-Palmdoc, Sony lrf and MS-Reader lit files and I couldn't do that with eBook Studio. Thus, I have a mixture of eBook Studio pdb and BD pdb ebooks. (And for the definition Nazis here, I'm calling them ebooks as a shorthand from writing 'html or text ebooks stuffed into the pdb file structure' because that's what *EVERY* ordinary person does. )
