I decided to go ahead with adding the ability to list "extra" formats (extensions) that calibre is willing to send to CC. Starting with the next release of calibre (3.12 I think) you can add these extensions in the Wireless Device (SmartDevice) configuration (calibre Preferences / Plugins. Search for SmartDev, then push the "Configure" button).

The next version of Android CC will contain a "super" list of file extension -> mime types. This should help solve the problem where a reader app cannot be found. This CC version will go to beta this week.

We think that iOS CC will work with this new feature without change. I can't test it because I don't own an iOS device.
