Hope everything works out for you
No, that's absolutely NOT the case. Kindle books are encrypted for a specific device - you can't download a book to Kindle for PC and then copy it to a Kindle reader, even if both devices are registered to the same Amazon account (unless you remove the DRM, which we won't go into here).

What you have to do, if you want to load the book via USB, is select the "Transfer via PC" option on the Kindle web site. It will then ask you which registered device the book is intended for, and download the file to your PC. You then copy it to the Kindle via USB.

Again, you CANNOT download a book to "Kindle for PC" and then just copy it to a Kindle reader.
