Various text formats again.

PPDB books are read using the palm reader for windows (the mac and  
simbion os versions do not work with speech) which can be downloaded  
at http://www.palmdigitalmedia.com.  Also, the pdf files are not  
protected in any way, as long as you don't buy a secure adobe book.   
The secure palm books will work though, so stick with that format if  
you need to purchase something that is in secure format.  It'll tell  
you in the description whether or not it's secure format or not.   
Hope this helps.
