Calibre is run on your computer. It helps you to organize your collection, and transfer the books to the reader. On the reader itself (which really is a small computer, running Linux) you need another program to view your files. fbreader is that viewer of choice.

Certain newer firmware updates don't seem to work as well

15.3's been rock stable for me for some time. No worries there.

It seems that epub books work better than pdf? Both are available from our library.

Well, yes. PDf was never meant to be used for on-screen reading. While you can format it for different screen sizes most documents are formatted in printing size, i.e. A4/Legal/Letter. Hard to read that on a 5 inch screen. Text-based formats like epub, txt, html, even rtf are vastly superior here. The allow for reflowing of your text according to font size etc; epub every time you have a choice.
