I could easilh send you a PDB that koreader would not be able to open.
And according to Kobo's content processing, I could send you plenty of EPUBs that the Kobo software won't open. Those of us with thousands of .pdb files that contain books, obtained most of them for their PDAs. Some of them came as "Secure eReader" files from Fictionwise or eReader.com.

Yes, technically .pdb files are Palm DataBase files, but practically the file type has made a place for itself as a format that you can find ebooks in.
