It seems amazon has identified a way to block certain books from being downloaded in the older format and forces the new kfx
Some books are only available in KFX format. This includes books in certain languages such as Arabic and Indian languages. This also applies to some textbooks, apparently for the enhanced DRM. If you indicate which book is giving you trouble I can be more specific.
