You cannot view Plucker files with eReader. Plucker is an offline HTML viewer for PalmOS, and has its own data file format. It's free and open source, and you can find it here:
http://www.plkr.org
You will want to install the Plucker viewer, and the syszlib.prc file, which is a Palm shared library version of Zlib, and required for viewing files created with the high compression option.
Plucker can live on the card in /Palm/Launcher. sysZlib must be in RAM.
Plucker will look for files in RAM, or in /Palm/Launcher, /Palm/eBooks, or /Palm/Programs/Plucker on a card. (I use /Palm/Programs/Plucker here.)
I have about 3,200 books in Plucker format on a card. I roll my own from the PG HTML versions. As well as the Plucker viewer on my PDA, it requires Plucker Desktop on my PC. The Plucker parser does the actual conversion of the HTML files to the format Plucker uses on the PDA.
To make life easier, I use Rafael Fetzer's freeware PDA Converter application. PDA converter is a GUI front end for the Plucker parser. It provides a convenient means to specify the options you want, then calls the Plucker parser in a background task to do the conversion.
You can get PDA Converter here:
