Hi, all! I've looked high and low around the net without success.

I'm trying to find a .pdb version of the venerable 1913 Webster's Revised Unabridged dictionary. It's great for all the early public domain books, finding obscure words, or older definitions.

I was unable to do a .prc to .pdb in Calibre. (In over my head in that, anyway.)

One of my favorite ebook readers on my i-devices is eReader. It came with a Merriam-Webster pocket dictionary, which is very sparse, very lean, quite minimalist (not that many words, no etymology, etc.)

The 1913 Webster's dictionary was a classic and I'm hoping that someone, sometime converted into a format that eReader could use (i.e., a .pdb, Palm ebook file).
