If not...then is there some alternative firmware I can flash/install onto it to allow me to do this?
Yes. Unless there is something wrong with your T3 you just connect it to the computer via USB and drop files into your "books" directory (Sony_Reader > media > books). What might be causing an issue is that the T3 opens two partitions — one is called SETUP (you don't move files into that one) the other is your normal eBook partition called "READER." For some reason the "SETUP" partition is the one that pops up when your first connect. Just eject that one and look for the one that says READER.

The Sony T3 works just like the Kobo in this regard. Just copy and paste books from the computer into the T3 (or drag and drop them).

As JSWolf says, you can also use Calibre if you want to organize your books. Calibre will recognize the T3. (If I've missed something, please let me know. I can be dense at times.)
