For the record, I find it on the Manage my Kindle page. I find a book, I scroll to the far right and hover over the action button, I choose Download and transfer via USB. I don't know enough about computer programming to understand why this wouldn't work for a system running on linux.
It works on Linux if you have a Kindle registered to your account (I run Ubuntu and Fedora, and it works on both for me). I guess if you don't have a Kindle then they don't give you the option, since it's intended to be used to give you a file that you can sideload to the Kindle.
