Question Using Calibre and Kindle For PC

I've noticed that many of my purchased amazon.com books in Calibre won't open with Kindle for PC. When I double click them, Kindle for PC opens but I get an error that says "The book could not be opened. Please remove the book from your device and redownload it"

The process I normally use for my Kindle and Calibre is as follows...maybe I should do it differently?

1. Buy the book from amazon on my PC
2. Turn on the wireless on the kindle and let the new book download
3. Plug the USB cable into the Kindle and connect it to my PC
4. Use the Add Books in Calibre option to grab the book from the Kindle into Calibre
5. download the metadata and covers for the book into calibre
6. Edit the tags and/or other standard meta data if i don't like what was downloaded.

That's it. I don't resend the book to the Kindle.
So, is there something about downloading the metadata that's causing the book to "change" in Calibre so that Kindle for PC doesn't recognize it?

Should I be doing something differently?
Thanks
