In contrast, I have a .azw3 that was converted by Calibre a few years ago that I can still download to the Oasis via the browser and it shows up fine.

The only difference I can think of is that the more recent file went through the Hyphenate plugin. Would that cause it to not download correctly?
Well, I freely admit, I've never used the "experimental browser." Can you elucidate? Why use it, rather than any of the other methods?
