Can't download books purchased on Aug 19th to any Kindle except PC

I have two Kindle Scribes, a Paperwhite (5th gen), and several other versions that I don't currently use. I've never had problems downloading and reading Kindle Versions of books I've purchased on Amazon until yesterday.

Two technical books I purchased directly from Amazon show up in my Library on the scribes, but cannot be downloaded. If I got to Manage Your Content on Amazon's website and try to download either book for transfer to a Kindle registered to my account, I get a message saying "You do not have any compatible devices registered for this content." The only reader I can download it to is the very latest version of Kindle for PC (which defeats the purpose of having the scribes and of purchasing the ebook).

Anyone else have this trouble? Is this a new DRM issue that Amazon pushed to publishing before enabling its Kindles?

I'm not trying to remove DRM (and I don't care about DRM as long as I have access to my purchased books), I'm just trying to read the books, mainly on the Scribes because the Scribe seems much better at displaying technical information than any of the other Kindle versions. Plus, I can take notes.

Thanks for any thoughts. Comments from Amazon particularly appreciated
