The "Download and transfer via USB" requires you to have a Kindle eInk device registered in your "Manage your content and devices" page. If you don't have a registered device, you will get "No device is eligible for downloading the selected content" when you attempt to download the ebook. So you won't be able to download the file much less transfer it to the registered Kindle (as far as I am aware, the DRM on books transferred using "Download and transfer via USB" is tied to the serial number of the device you used to allow the download).

It might be time to look for an old Kindle that you can register to your account.
