I've got a T3 and been spending some time trying to download directly to my ereader. I'll describe my experience to hopefully help someone here.

My situation has been complicated because I primarily use a Linux operating system on my PC. Sideloading to the Linux PC through Adobe Digital Editions has also recently stopped working with the version of ADE that works under Linux (ADE 1.7). Now ADE give an error when I try to add the .ascm file I downloaded from my library through a web browser on the PC.

What is interesting about my attempts to sideload with ADE is that I can now go back to my library's web site on the Sony and download the epub. Prior to attempting to load the .ascm file on the PC the library web site said "Download to app" (or similar). After I attempt to load the .ascm in ADE the library website offers a "Download epub" link.
