It helps if one regards the Bebook as a memory-stick with as screen rather than as a pocket computer.

Firmware can be downloaded, and has produced a very marked improvement in the functioning of this device. I have hopes that similar improvements can be expected in the future.
I have, occasionally, downloaded an item via the Wifi. It does work, if you have the patience. This does not usully matter, since downloading via a desktop computer and a USB cable is no problem. I still use mine for several hours… more »

I have, occasionally, downloaded an item via the Wifi. It does work, if you have the patience. This does not usully matter, since downloading via a desktop computer and a USB cable is no problem. I still use mine for several hours every day, and enjoy doing so. It can accept almost any format; though some are much better than others when it comes to reading.
If you have a choice [as you do when downloading from Gutenberg or Manybooks] then I recommend MOBI or PRC [these are virtually synonyms]. This is the same format as is used on the rival Kindle, I believe.
I sometimes use PDB, which is similar to MOBI in its effect and can also be used on a Palm-Handheld which I bought years ago.
PDF can be used, but is awkward because it retains a multiple-column format not suited to the small screen.
EPUB has a facility for annotating but this is less useful on the Bebook than when used on a desktop computer.
Articles downloaded from periodicals such as the Times or the Economist are usually in the format HTM or MHT. Bebook will not read MHT but it will read HTM.
The Bebook forum is full of useful information supplied by users, but confusing to use since Bebook offer several different readers which all have their idiosyncracies.
There is free software under the name CALIBRE which can convert from one format to another. This is fun to use and very useful.
