While what you are describing is the (Apple) PICT format; it seems this (modified) one is a bit different. If you notice, the ebookwise has the look and feel of Apple menus/icons and this format was, I think a product of that mindset.

However, I saw a comment here at mobileread made by scotty1024 that the original Softbook (aka REB 1200) ebook reader was to incorporate the Apple Macintosh OS, but Apple changed their mind about licencing it prior to shipping of the units.

It will only be a matter of time before we are able to decode this PICT format. I'm just looking for an easy way (i.e. one that I don't have to do )

EDIT: Oops you came to the same conclusion as I was writing this.
