Sideloading wirelessly is definitely handy!

Pocketbook supports filetypes:

Ebook formats: PDF, Epub, Mobi, DJVU, FB2, FB2.zip, Doc, Docx, rtf, prc, tcr, txt, chm, cbr, cbz and html
Music/Podcasts/Audiobooks: MP3, MP3.ZIP, M4A, M4B, OGG, OGG.ZIP
Image: JPG, TIFFF, BMP, PNG

As for tweaking it's very easy to sideload your own shell scripts to the device, they appear as applications in a specific area of the program menu. I've written several... one to allow easy editing of epub metadata directly from my device. Another connects to wifi, requests book input, downloads the book to my library, then disconnects and reactivates flight mode.
