All credit given to The Dark Reverser for the original standalone script. I had the much easier job of converting it to a Calibre plugin.

Installation:
Go to Calibre's Preferences page. Do **NOT** select "Get Plugins to enhance calibre" as this is reserved for "official" calibre plugins, instead select "Change calibre behavior". Under "Advanced" click on the Plugins button. Use the "Load plugin from file" button to select the plugin's zip file (eReaderPDB2PML_vXX_plugin.zip) and click the 'Add' button. You're done.

Please note: Calibre does not provide any immediate feedback to indicate that adding the plugin was a success. You can always click on the File-Type plugins to see if the plugin was added.

Troubleshooting:
If you find that it's not working for you (imported pdb's are not converted to pmlz format), you can save a lot of time and trouble by trying to add the pdb to Calibre with the command line tools. This will print out a lot of helpful debugging info that can be copied into any online help requests. I'm going to ask you to do it first, anyway, so you might as well get used to it. ;)
If you find that it's not working for you (imported ebooks still have DRM), you can save a lot of time and trouble by first deleting the DRMed ebook from calibre and then trying to add the ebook to calibre with the command line tools. This will print out a lot of helpful debugging info that can be copied into any online help requests. I'm going to ask you to do it first, anyway, so you might as well get used to it. ;)
Open a command prompt (terminal) and change to the directory where the ebook you're trying to import resides. Then type the command "calibredb add your_ebook.pdb". Don't type the quotes and obviously change the 'your_ebook.pdb' to whatever the filename of your book is. Copy the resulting output and paste it into any online help request you make.
On Macintosh only you must first run calibre, open Preferences, open Miscellaneous, and click on the “Install command line tools” button. (On Windows and Linux the command line tools are installed automatically.)
** Note: the Mac version of Calibre doesn't install the command line tools by default. If you go to the 'Preferences' page and click on the miscellaneous button, you'll see the option to install the command line tools.
On Windows, open a terminal/command window. (Start/Run… and then type ‘cmd’ (without the ‘s) as the program to run).
On Macintosh, open the Terminal application (in your Utilities folder).
On Linux open a command window. Hopefully all Linux users know how to do this, as I do not.
You should now have a text-based command-line window open. Also have open the folder containing the ebook to be imported. Make sure that book isn’t already in calibre, and that calibre isn’t running.
Now type in "calibredb add " (without the " but don’t miss that final space) and now drag the book to be imported onto the window. The full path to the book should be inserted into the command line. Now press the return/enter key. The import routines will run and produce some logging information.
Now copy the output from the terminal window.
On Windows, you must use the window menu (little icon at left of window bar) to select all the text and then to copy it.
On Macintosh and Linux, just use the normal text select and copy commands.
