If you saw the open/close confirmation promp, the books should be there. I just tested a few books here and they all downloaded OK. And I tried both options. I did have to change the sort to see the books as for once I didn't have the list in "Recent" order. The download dumps the books in the root directory, so you can check for them there. There could be file name issues, but, calibre should be sending names that are OK on the device, and the download should make sure they are unique.

Also, check the firmware version and calibre version. Both have had some issues, but, I don't remember if the calibre version with problems was released. It might have been found during beta's. The firmware has also had some problems, but I don't think the last set were fixed before the Clara HD was released. Also, I think that for the last problem that existed, if you got to the point of seeing the confirmation prompt, the download worked

Lastly, if you open the book from the download success prompt, it doesn't open the book in the browser. It opens the book as it would from the library.
