About formats

PDB (Palm Database) is a generic database container format created by Palm, Inc. for the Palm OS platform, first appearing with the original PalmPilot in March 1996. In the ebook context, PDB files most commonly use the PalmDOC or Plucker encoding to store readable text with basic formatting. The format consists of a 78-byte header identifying the database name, creation date, and record count, followed by a record index table and the data records themselves. PalmDOC-encoded PDB files use a simple LZ77-based compression scheme to pack plain text efficiently, while Plucker extends this with HTML rendering, image support, and hyperlink navigation. PDB ebooks powered a thriving mobile reading ecosystem years before dedicated e-readers existed — millions of Palm OS users carried entire libraries on devices like the Palm V, Tungsten, and Treo handhelds. A primary advantage is extreme simplicity: the flat record structure and minimal overhead mean PDB files parse instantly even on severely constrained hardware with limited memory and processing power. The open, well-documented structure is another strength, having spawned numerous reader applications across Palm OS, Windows, and later mobile platforms. Though the Palm platform is long discontinued, PDB ebooks remain accessible through conversion tools and readers like Calibre, and the format holds historical significance as one of the earliest practical mobile ebook solutions.

PPSX (PowerPoint Slideshow XML) is the Open XML counterpart to the legacy PPS format, introduced by Microsoft with Office 2007. Like PPTX, a PPSX file is a ZIP archive containing XML parts that describe slides, layouts, themes, and media assets according to the Office Open XML specification. The distinguishing characteristic is behavioral: opening a PPSX file launches the presentation directly in full-screen slideshow mode, bypassing the editing environment. This makes PPSX the preferred format for distributing finalized presentations where the audience should experience the content as a seamless visual narrative without exposure to the editing interface, slide sorter, or speaker notes panel. PPSX files support every visual feature available in PPTX including transitions, animations, embedded video and audio, hyperlinks, SmartArt, charts, and custom slide timings. One advantage is streamlined delivery — a PPSX file attached to an email or shared via a link opens as a polished presentation with a single click, requiring no instruction to the recipient. The XML-based foundation provides another benefit: PPSX files are typically much smaller than equivalent PPS files due to built-in ZIP compression, and their contents can be inspected or modified programmatically using standard XML tools. The format is supported for playback in PowerPoint, LibreOffice Impress, Google Slides (after upload), and various mobile presentation apps, ensuring broad cross-platform reach for distributed slide decks.
