The updated Digital Reader contentlister uses the filename extension, .pdb, and associates it with FBReader. It should really look inside the file to distinguish between the various PDB formats. This is what FBReader's built in file selector does (it won't even list iSiloX filenames).
thanks man , really appreciate the help. but if i recall correctly , the FBReader WinXp version did support isilo formatted files. am i wrong? did my memory somehow faded away by Richard Alpert?
