"No available formats" for Calibre, works with Adobe DE

I'm a newbie, trying to use Calibre to get books in a format my Kindle can read. As an experiment I downloaded an ePUB version of a free book from the Gutenberg project - The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope. It looks OK and I can see the cover and details in the right hand part of the Calibre window; furthermore I can open it and read it with Adobe Digital Editions (it should be DRM-free), but when I try to view it in Calibre, I get this message

The Prisoner of Zenda has no available formats

What does this mean and what can I do about it. I have tried to look in this forum and also looked at Calibre documentation but I have obviously missed something massive.

(BTW I realise I could download a text copy of this book directly, but right now I'm trying to understand ePUB and the conversion process).

TIA
