Does anyone know of a Reader that will allow me to open Palm .pdb format files on my iPAQ 3835 using the Windows OS?

Is there a decent one out there? I have tried one or two with no good results (EZ Reader runs but won't let me see the files available to open).

I have tried to get the Peanut Reader and EZ Reader to work. They install OK, but I can't get them to open files from the File Explorer or even show me a list of files to open from within the application.

With EZ reader, if I tap the file I want to view from the File Explorer, it opens the application, but is empty. No visible files or any way to open one.

Any ideas? What am I missing?

Thanks.

Correction on my earlier Peanut Reader statement. I CAN get it to show me a list of books, but when I try to pick one to open, it does not do so. It just reverts to the "No Books Open" message. The read-me file that came with it says I should be prompted to 'unlock' the book when I try to open it, but I get nothing.
