Then it asks which Kindle
This only works for ebooks you bought and an eink Kindle registered to your account.
Also some kinds of ebook (fixed layout) can only be bought if you have a fire/app registered. So I deleted such "devices" (and Cloud reader) which means I only have the eink Kindles on my account and thus can't accidentally buy fake ebooks (fixed layout are not true ebooks because they won't work on smaller screens).

If you have an e-ink kindle registered to your Amazon account and are not seeing the Download & Transfer option for a particular book you can post a link to the Amazon listing for the book and someone can look at it to see if it falls into a non-downloadable category.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't realize at the time - hadn't read through all the pages of replies! - that the option had been disabled for all the KU content. Which doesn't much affect my personal reading, since I rarely obtain any books for myself from KU, but for years I've been converting a lot of of them for a friend overseas.
Bought a Kindle Paperwhite 2, but was unable to downgrade the firmware, so now I'm waiting on a Kindle PW1 to arrive so I can try that . Which is crazy, because before a few days ago I had never in my life owned a Kindle of any kind.
