As I suspected above, it is a problem with the ePub file itself. I’ve borrowed about eight books from that library today, either by browsing the library from within the Kobo store or from searching for the book directly. None had problems syncing to my KA1. In fact, I borrowed all the books from the series of the book in question (Michael Vey 1-4 & 6, they didn’t have book 5). All downloaded except book 1, again, plus now also book 2, which means the library has two ebooks with issues.

So unless you folks can think of a specific thing my KA1 is doing to snub these two particular ebooks, I’ll just email the library’s tech support and borrow them elsewhere. Thanks for all of your feedback.
That's interesting. But, this isn't a problem for the library. It is a problem for Kobo. The borrowed book comes from the Kobo store and is in their kepub format. This is the reason for the earlier question about the edition. The book the library lends has to match the book that Kobo has. Then it is downloaded from there. If that download fails, then it is a problem with the book or the downloading and Kobo needs to look at it.

With the name of the book, I just had a look at it in the Kobo store. Nothing looks strange about it. Unfortunately, my library doesn't have it, so I can't check what happens when I borrow it. The preview downloaded OK, but that is a cut-down version of the book. Also, it is possible you are getting a different edition as the publisher is frequently tied to different countries.
