I'd like to know how well it supports non-ebook filetypes. My PEZ, which was in the same "Hanlin" category as previous BeBooks, was useless for .html, .doc, .fb2, and .txt, although it claimed to support them.

It *showed* them. I can't say it supported them: it would split words at the end of lines or pages, sometimes adding hyphens rather at random ("ye-ars" was one split); it'd drop punctuation to the next line instead of keeping with the word it followed, and indents and other spacing-formatting got downright odd.

I'm also seconding the request for info about file structure--folders or something else? Does it support tagging or other groups? Does it require or prefer specific software for ebook loading? But I consider those secondary issues to the filetype support. I can work with a number of storage/sorting options; I need the texts to display correctly. If it can't display .rtf or .html without mangling the words, it shouldn't claim to support them.
