Those formats are mostly not very "portable". Plucker comes from the idea to "pluck" web sites, i.e. download HTML pages to read them offline. Having said this it might become obvious that especially pre-formatted formats like PS and PDF do not convert that easily - thus no converter exists. The best bet you can do is convert to HTML first. If this works then you can convert the HTML page set to Plucker format. I would recommend to manually edit the HTML intermediate format in order to add some browsing help links, like page forward, page back, table of contents, a nice cover page, etc... > Also, I don't understand the difference between plucker and palm > document format (both are pdb extension and readable by FBreader) PDB is just the general extension for "Palm DataBase", i.e. a generic data file format for Palm-OS and does not specify any internal data representation (like PBC IRC which is the program file). > Can anyone give me some explanations or an interesting link ?

Use the plucker commanline tool "plucker-build" instead. With this you can create an HTML directory tree and simply create the Plucker book from it. > Thanks, > Ploum Cheers nils faerber - -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen Mob: +49-176-21024535 - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEHomnJXeIURG1qHgRAp+HAKCeHA7rE9QAfkL+F6Vi/Rpx4R6MTQCePn1A kMUFBJecxo9d9w9yB5o5v3Y= =Ihmb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
