I am not saying your BeBook doesn't support them but the BeBook "driver" in calibre. For every device that calibre supports via the "send to device" there is a "driver" program that knows how to detect, talk to, and place books on that specific device. Within that driver is a list where it tells calibre what ebook formats it supports and what priority to give them.

For example, for the Sony it might say, this device supports LRF, EPUB, RTF, TXT and prefers them in that order.

Yes.

Of course, ebook files are pretty small when compared to hard drives these days. But you can d/l your books to a download folder. Add them all to calibre then delete them. TaDa one copy only.
