That function downloads a book to your PC. You don't have to actually transfer it to your device via USB. You can instead import it into calibre. That will work for any books you own that are DRM-free.

Make sure Kindle for PC is registered to your account. You should see cover thumbnails for all of your purchased books when you launch it.
