ADE 2.0.1 will read backward compatible epub3 with NO PROBLEM! I use it for library books, many of which are epub3. No, it's not going to handle fancy epub3 stuff, but basic backward compatible epub3, not a problem AT ALL!

I also use ADE 2.01 for downloading books from Kobo (and stripping the DRM), so yeah, I've looked at some of my purchases and do know they are, in fact, epub 3. It is the ONLY ADE install on my machine, so there's not even a possibility that I'm accidentally using a more advanced ADE.

Guess what? Many publishers are making epub3 now. Yet, they stand to lose big time if their epub3s aren't backward compatible and can't be read on older devices, of which there are many still in use. They use HTML5 tags like <figure> and <figcaption> and <section>, etc... with no issue. If the CSS specifies display:block; for <figure>, ADE displays it as a block element. What more you want, I couldn't say.

Why you are having trouble getting it to work, I don't know.
