What he is saying is that the calibre BeBook driver is not recognising that .rtf is a format supported by the BeBook. It sounds as though you should raise a ticket that .rtf should be allowed on the BeBook without conversion. If you are using the 0.6.x releases, have you checked to see if the right-click menu allows you to send a specific format including rtf.

So every time I want to add a book to Calibre I'm going to get a copy ? That's going to fill up the hard drive quickly !
Yes. This is deliberate design decision to leave the original alone. If you are happy for calibre to manage all your ebooks, then you can delete the original.

It sounds as though you have set Calibre to use the same library location as your current ebooks. This is bad practise as you are going to get calibre creating its own folder and file structures at that location mixed up with your own. It is better to treat the calibre library as a "black box" at its own dedicated location.
