Description
I have a small number of pdb's (free books from ereader.com) that cannot be opened. I don't think they are DRM'd, but in fact they report
ERROR: Could not open ebook: Size mismatch. eReader header record size 116 KB is not supported.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\viewer\main.py", line 61, in run File "threading.py", line 477, in run File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\oeb\iterator.py", line 175, in enter File "site-packages\calibre\customize\conversion.py", line 211, in call File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\pdb\input.py", line 43, in convert File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\pdb\ereader\reader.py", line 26, in init
Ereader Error?: Size mismatch. eReader header record size 116 KB is not supported.
Note also that ereader.com's reader(PC and Palm) and B&N (PC) desktop reader has no problem with them but Nook does.
Example pdb attached.

Fix committed. It is a very old Peanut Press PDB. I is very similar to the 202 Byte header the current version of Makebook produces. This book was probably created with either and earlier version of Makebook or a precursor to it. I've added support for these files.
