Unnecessary conversion

Readee have support according to its manual for a lot of formats;
PDF, CHM, EPUB, TXT, TM, HTML, RTF, DB, DJVU,
DJV, iw44, iw4, FB2, OEB, PRC, MOBI, TCR, OPF

If I try to send a chm-file with Calibre it ask me if I want to convert to ePub.
I can copy them manually and they work as they are.

Is there a possibility to tell Calibre which format it should not convert?

I found the lines you changed in the code;
FORMATS = ['epub', 'mobi', 'fb2', 'lit', 'prc', 'chm', 'djvu', 'pdf', 'rtf', 'txt']

I haven't tried everyone but I know that "lit" doesn't work.
I have a lit-book that open's in calibre's viewer so it's not protected.

In my first submission I had copied from the manual, and "lit" isn't there.
Is there short testfiles of every type so I can test my reader properly?

You can disable any format by customizing the plugin via Preferences->Advanced->Device interface plugins

As for test files, you can use calibre to create simple files in most of the formats

Can I add a format to a device plugin?

I have the iriver Story and would like to add djvu files, which are (somewhat) supported by the device for some time now.
