On the Overdrive web site it provides the explanation that:
"Due to publisher restrictions, this book in the Kindle format cannot be delivered wirelessly and must be downloaded and transferred via USB."

It's just Penguin and the workaround is really easy and only involves one additional step. You don't need to physically connect your Kindle to your computer via USB.
There was a
thread on this about 6 weeks ago. From that thread:
Quote:
For non-Penguin books, it says: "xxx, please chose a Kindle device or reading application for delivery of your purchase:" Select your device or app and hit the "Continue" button. It's then sent to that device or app.
For Penguin books, it says: "xxx, please choose which Kindle you plan to transfer your title to via USB:" Select your Kindle device and hit the "Continue" button (ignore the download popup). It's then sent to your archives where it's immediately available for all devices and apps.
