Cannot download Overdrive .epub library books directly from PRS-T3 device

Hello,

As the title says, I can't get the browser on the PRS-T3 to initiate a download of an .epub book. I can sign into my elibrary account (eLibraries Manitoba) and see the bookshelf of books I have checked out, but there is no link on .epub books where I can download them, all I get is the message "This device does not support this format."

It's strange, because I am logged into Adobe Digital Editions, and I can transfer library books over to the PRS-T3 (and read them) through the Sony Reader program on my PC with a USB cable, but I cannot download directly from the device. I've had an older device, the PRS-T1 for a couple years, and direct library downloads work on that device.

Does anyone have any solutions? I wish I could override Overdrive's warning message and say "No, that's okay, let me download the file anyway". Books with a .pdf format are apparently allowed for download directly from the device.

The PRS-T3 is running 1.1.00.15210 firmware. The working PRS-T1 is running a rooted firmware 1.0.04.12210. Surely this isn't an issue with the switch to the Kobo bookstore, which is still ongoing (cannot yet visit the kobo store from the PRS-T3)?
