The "Download" option within calibre's Get Books is meant for sites that make books available for free, such as public domain books from Archive.org. It cannot download your purchased books from Amazon.

Getting your purchased books into calibre from Amazon requires a different process. If you don't own a Kindle device you will need to install Kindle for PC. See the thread: Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 and KFX in calibre
