How to Convert PDB to Kindle Format 8(KF8)?

Question:
I wasn't paying attention the other day when I was buying books, and didn't notice that one that I bought wasn't in a Kindle Fire format. It's in a .pdb format. I am very new to the ebook reading thing (just got my Kindle two days ago) and I'm wondering how do I convert a .pdb ebook to work on my Kindle Fire? Could someone help me with this please?
