One book in .pdf - I was hoping that the pages could be saves as images but nope, they are blank.

(PDFRead) I had to play around with this to get the images sized properly for best reading quality but it works great on most files. http://pdfread.sourceforge.net/

I also tried .pdb but the site wants to authenticate the device and of course, I just want the file to convert it. I can only open the file on my PC.

Very frustrating.

Anyone know what sites books can be downloaded from that can then be converted into other formats? Anyone know if there is such a list of sites anywhere? That would help!
As far as I know there is an older pdb drm remover that works on some pdb formats (pdb is a bunch of formats actually). For drm prc and pdf, the only way to do it is to snag them page by page with an efficient snag program (I use Snag It), and then use them as images or ocr them. It takes a little bit of time, but it's much faster than scanning, can be script-automated....
