The book I just got from my local library won't download to my kindle. When I check, it is listed in downloading items, but it says "wi-fi required-0%." It looks like it does want to send it to my archive (I see an unhighlighted version of the title there) but it's not downloading at all, even though wi-fi is very much on.

Thoughts? I could, of course, download it to my mac and then put it on the kindle. Or I could read it on my rooted nook color or my phone, so it's hardly an emergency, but I would like to know why I can't read it on my actual kindle!

eta: NEVERMIND! Just remembered I don't use wi-fi at home with the kindle; I always use 3G instead. Apparently, as noted above, it won't come over 3G, so I guess that's the problem...
