I take it that you purchased the ebook and then found there was no epub download link in your library?
What I have noticed is that the last three ebooks that had the version in content.opf set to 3.0 were only offered as .kepub.epub presumably to use the epub3 compliant ACCESS renderer. The last one I picked up was a non-DRMed freebie and the only epub3 feature I could find was that it lacked the toc.ncx file and had a toc.xhtml file. Other than missing the TOC, it worked happily with DLReader on my PC. The other two did make use of epub3 features so some excuse there though the latest rendition of DLReader (based on the RMSDK code base) handles text direction and a few other epub3 features.
