I would recommend that you uninstall Kindle for PC and install it again.
Also as you probably know, we're working on a Kindle for Mac application, which will be available in the next few months. So it is probably the fact the virtual Windows 7 is running on an iMac.
At this time, Kindle for PC is only available for customers with a personal computer running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or the new Windows 7.
I'm sorry for not being able to help further as we do not have support for Kindle for PC running on virtual machines."

So it appears the Kindle for PC application expects a "My Kindle Content" folder to exist or be created, and in the Virtual Machine the funky mapping of directories throws this off. In Parallels is there really a My Documents folder or is it virtualized and mapped to some "real" Mac folder structure? Even if you manually create the My Kindle Content folder within the VM the Kindle app still fails to download the content.
