Sorry for the delay, it took a while for my next library hold to come up.
This time I tried checking out from the "regular" library view. When I said alt-text before, I was referring to the alternate text that is displayed instead of graphics when images are turned off in the web browser.
As T3Reader noted, I didn't know there was a difference between my library's web site and Overdrive's. This time I tried Overdrive on the T3 instead of my library's web site.
Here, I am showing:
1) What my checkouts looks like from ottawa.overdrive.com
2) What my checkouts look like from ottawa.bibliocommons.com
3) One book (at Overdrive this time) that has the "Add to app" button
4) One book that has "Choose your format" button; this one let me choose between epub and PDF. I chose epub.
5) Both books added to my library. The acsm downloaded, then I opened my notifications and selected them which caused the books to be downloaded and added to my library.
So both my libary's web site and Overdrive both work on a T3. Again, both books never accessed with a PC or other device. It doesn't seem to matter what label is on the button. I'm starting to wonder if they specifically block the T1's browser?
One thing that is kind of strange is that Overdrive and Bibliocommons don't seem to agree on what formats the books are in.
