I also made up a lot of pdb books for my Palm and they were all from text files. I don't recall which Palm apps I read with now but they handled these files just fine, reflowing and all. The program I used in later days, once I started using Windows, was DocReader, which was a Windows reading program as well as a converter to and from pdb. It could only read pdb files that were made from text files as I recall. I'm not really sure about that last part.
Before Windows, in the DOS days, I used some other program for converting and I don't recall what it was. It might even be something I wrote myself. I wrote a lot of my own tools in those days. Whatever it was it took plain text files and converted them to pdb files that could be read on the Palm with whatever apps I was using.
About all I remember about those apps was that they scrolled, I wasn't interested in apps that paged, and they read the pdb files I made.
