Bookeen Cybook Muse HD and Calibre

Hi all,
I'm attracted to the Bookeen Muse HD.
Before buying it, I need to know if I can use Calibre to transfer books to it, and manage my library via USB as I have been doing for years with my (now defunct) Kobo Touch and my Kindle.
The sales staff hadn't even heard of Calibre (!), and I couldn't find anything in the specs or on the Bookeen site about it.
I've found two posts here which seemed to conflict, one saying:

Quote:
So in the end you end up connecting the device to a computer via USB and fire up Calibre.

and one by Kovid Goyal himself, saying:
Quote:
calibre cannot manage collections on this device, unless someone witht he device steps up to add that facility to the driver.

But perhaps I've misunderstood the second quote. I just want to download to my computer, and then transfer to the device with Calibre, and, occasionally, to delete a book or copy it back to the computer. (Devuan GNU/Linux)
Thanks in advance.
