ebook reader for "Secure Palm eReader" books?

Hi, I'm new here.

I have a couple dozen ebooks in the secure Palm eReader format. I read them on a Palm Treo. The files have .pbd extension and you need to enter a credit card number to open them the first time on a device.

I also have a 2nd gen ipod touch which runs Kindle and Nook apps, but I can't seem to find an IOS eReader app for my old books.

A friend lent me a Kindle to use for a while and now I'm interested in a Kindle or Nook (or similar) that can load my old "secure" ebooks. I also want to be able to read ebooks from our public library, they support Kindle format and ePub format. I also have a number of non-DRM'd .prc and .pdb format books, it looks like I can convert these as needed using Calibre.

Will a Nook work for this? Is there an app I can run on the iTouch that I'm missing? Other suggestions? (think low budget please)
