I was able to download the Overdrive App and download some DRMed EPUB books from my online library website. The only thing I couldn't download was the WMA audiobook that I borrowed (it wouldn't let me - the message said I had to download to my PC and then transfer to my device).

When I tried to transfer my audoibook to the Vox through Overdrive on my PC, it didn't work (said the filetype wasn't supported).

Then I decided to copy the audiobook folder directly to my overdrive folder through the Astro file manager. That didn't work either - Overdrive 'tries' to play the WMA book, but it sounds all gibberishy.

I am guessing I won't be able to do this, since WMA isn't supported, but I was hoping someone may have a trick up their sleeve to get this to work! Any ideas?
