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.
Am downloading to PC Downloads folder..then add to Calibre.
But with some books there is no option to download by usb
Only just started happening.
