PDB is generically a Palm app (Palm database?). some .pdb files are Palm
ebooks -- in fact there are many different Palm ebook formats (many
proprietary/undocumented). the PilotDoc plugin for Newt's Cape
recognizes/converts/displays a couple of types: a standard text type
"TEXt/REAd" and one image type "vIMG/View".

to transfer the .pdb files to your Newton:
  http: download vis Newt's Cape
  email attachment via SimpleMail
  terminal emulator transfer, e.g, EETransfer
(if someone figures out another way, let me know...)

this is summarized on the PilotDoc page:
