I still have some, but not longer read any. They "live" as source material for the versions that I've converted to current formats. Over the eons, I've replaced many of the books with with newer version and deleted the antiques. The .PDB files that I have are a mix of plain text, most sourced from PG some 20-25 years ago, and some are AportisDOC/PalmDOC format, what was a "markup" format with modest formatting. I also have a good number of .PRC files, most are early MOBI versions, but some are other variants of OEBv1. Only the MOBI .PRC file exist in my calibre library and most have been converted to ePub. I also have a few ebooks in other antique formats.

I don't see any real need for any new distribution of ebooks in these antique formats.
