Can anyone recommend one? I would like to read my Palm .PDB and or mobi files. ---

I don’t think that’s possible with your phone. ---

The Rugby and Rugby Pro are Android phones. For those I’d recommend FBReader. ---

> [@yoyodyne](#): > > The Rugby and Rugby Pro are Android phones. But the OP asked about the [Rugby II](http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-A847ZAAATT) which is very different - it’s a flip phone, not a touchscreen phone. There’s absolutely no mention of Android in the specs or description, so I think it’s a non-smartphone (aka “featurephone”). I don’t think you can install third-party apps (like e-reader apps) on it. ---
