Close the Add to calibre dialog box and try again once the file is completely downloaded. If that doesn't work, try downloading the file from Amazon again.
Much more likely the book has DRM on it, so the Kindle PW cannot read the book.

Kindle DRM applies per device/app, NOT per account!!

google "apprentice alf" for more details. (Mobileread policy forbids in-depth discussion/guides to DRM removal, so if you have any questions, ask them at the place you get the tools from.)
