I have quite a few .pdb ebooks and I purchased the Pocket Pro because you said it would have eReader on it, so I figured I would be able to read them with it. So far it has been a wasted purchase. Please tell me you have some good news concerning adding eReader format to the Pocket Pro.
Thank you.

Dear NeweReader:
There are plenty of people on here that can walk you through making your eReader formatted eBooks read on your Pocket PRO. That is the good news.
The bad news is that despite working with Fictionwise for almost a year, no SDK was ever sent to us so we could port it in. Fictionwise worked hard but JUST as they were close... B&N bought them. You would hope, as did I, that this would not change things. But after months of legal wrangling, B&N said that eReader was to be EXCLUSIVE! That meant we could not have both Adobe Digital Editions and eReader. We already had been selling with ADE ported in and paid almost $75,000 to get the rights. It was impossible to do what B&N demanded. Plus... still no eReader SDK for Linux was ready to go.
Please ask yourself what you would have done? I do HATE to disappoint you. I know it seems painful. We have to stick with ADE only as the other two formats are exclusive.
I suggest starting a new thred saying: "HOW do I get eReader eBooks to read on my Pocket PRO?". I think you will get all the help you need quite quickly.
