I usually use nookstudy but I just downloaded nook for mac and all of my books are ePubs. How do you know if you have a book that's PDB prior to downloading?

ETA: Nevermind. Geertm is correct.

If I download the books through nookstudy or nook for mac, it's ePub format but if I download it through the browser it's PDB. My nook is 3G so I always get the books on my nook through that but I keep backup copies through the desktop application which gives me ePub format. If it's not too much of an hassle, you might want to start using a desktop app.

The issue is going to be with what Kezza mentioned. PDB files that are from other places not named Barnes & Noble.
