Although I've spent the last month painstakingly sorting my books and adding them to calibre, this is the first time I've ever tried to use it to send books to a device. I came home with a Sony 600 yesterday - and believe me, it was unexpected to me, too.
Anyway, my question is with the Send to Device dialogue. If a book is in two formats, one compatible with the Sony Reader (epub) and one not (lit), do I need to use "send specific format", or will calibre automatically not send unsupported formats? I notice when I open the "send specific format" dialogue, it only shows compatible formats for the Sony. I'm sending it to the 8 gig SD card (Storage Card B) as opposed to the device's main memory.

System is Windows 7 64 bit, if that makes any difference in this scenario.
