You cannot move (DRMed) books from Kindle for PC to your Kindle. They are tied by the DRM to your installation of Kindle for PC. You need to re-download them from Amazon specifically for use with your Kindle. You can get Amazon to either send them wirelessly to your Kindle, or to download them to your PC to be manually copied across to your Kindle over USB.

Kindle for PC isn't a general ebook management program, like iTunes is for music. You don't use it to synchronise with your Kindle, you only use it for reading ebooks on your PC.
