You chose an E-ink Kindle (not a Fire) when downloading? Make sure you have that Kindle's serial number in there correctly. Copy and paste it from the website.

I have the serial number in there correctly and copied and pasted it. Still doesn't work. Can you expand on what you mean in your first question? I selected Kindle eInk ebooks when adding the serial number

[ElleKayEm]

I am guessing that you are downloading the book with the download & transfer option from the website. When you select which device, it should be an E-ink Kindle, not a Fire. This method won't work with books for a Fire. If you do not have an E-ink Kindle (pre 2024 model), then you will need to use a different method.
