Do you have Whispernet turned on? If it's not on the book can't be downloaded.
Do you have decent coverage. Depending on your location Whispernet may not be relaible enough to download books. In that case, you can download the book to your computer and use the USB cable to transfer the book to your Kindle.

As I mentioned, the book was on my kindle and I downloaded through the kindle and not my PC, so yes, Whispernet had to be turned on for me to receive it a few seconds later, but it disappeared the next day when I turned on my kindle. And I didn't delete it.
I've no problems with Whispernet, I always get full bars. This is an issue with amazon.com, not with any functioning of the kindle 2. I was billed for the purchase as I received a confirmation email from them, and subsequently, it disappeared the next day. I won't download it again, because I'll be billed twice for the same book, and I won't take the chance trying to do that, so other than getting my ebooks elsewhere, amazon won't do anything about it. It's the old bait 'n switch trick, and it seemed to have worked.
