I only see the symbol for the file format.
While reading, the lcd screen shows the epub icon, book title and author, and progress bar that I can move to forward through book. Underneath all that are the icons for font, bookmarks, etc.

On my mac, ADE doesn't recognize Alex either. Purchased one book from fictionwise (42 cent short story), added it to ADE library, and transferred it over*. It worked. Did same with epub library book I checked out via overdrive, and it did not work.

* Note: Following NNolan's advice, I had authorized Alex to my Adobe ID, mounted SD on Mac, and then turned on ADE in the Mac. Since Alex icon did not show up in ADE, I manually transferred the epub file over. Fictionwise was in folder I'd downloaded book, overdrive library ebook was in Documents/Digital Editions folder.
