PDB file will usually be better readable by the application (PRC file/s) and
I don't think they will be human-readable unless you read hexadecimal and
know your own application fairly well (e.g. when debugging). Moreover,
their form might vary depending on the application used, so I doubt whether
an application exists for interpreting and visualing PDB files. There are
database management applications, however, such as thinkDB <

looked, none was free.
I have just tried FileZ and can confirm that it will display PDB files in a
more-or-less helpful way. Tick to select a PDB file from the list of files,
then tap the top menu -> Edit, select record -> View/Edit.
This allows you to read eBooks on your palmtop, and is freeware. If you
want to write on the pdb, there are several text editors available,
such as TextT1.0, available free on the above site.
