Some books on Amazon are Electronic Books, not true ebooks. They only work on apps. Note the Fire isn't a real Kindle ereader, it's a customised Android tablet using a special version of the Kindle Android App.
Some "books" may even only work on iOS app or Fire or PC program.

Mostly fixed layout types will not download to true Kindle ereaders.

With "Download & transfer via PC" you have to also specify which device you are downloading for. The option is greyed out if there is no available option.

If in doubt I select a sample for "Download & transfer via PC" and verify it works on my Kindle and Kobo.
