Converting pdf to pdb?

Sat, 07/11/2009 - 18:54 — MariaMaz

I recently purchased ebooks from ebay and they are in PDF format. I bought them to read on my ITouch. This is the first time I am attempting to read books on my ITouch, so I don't know much about the process.

I would like to add them to my Stanza bookshelf, but they need to be in PDB format.

Can anyone instruct me on how to convert my ebooks from PDF to PDB or any other fomat that my ITouch/Stanza will read?

Thanks,
Maria

If you download Stanza

If you download Stanza Desktop and open the PDB, you should be able to simply share it with Stanza iPhone by following the instructions at http://www.lexcycle.com/faq/how_to_get_books_onto_stanza_iphone. Note, though, that Stanza Desktop strips out all the formatting and images from PDFs, so if your PDF relies heavily on formatted text, the results may not be optimal.
