Also, to check if perhaps it was because it was a new book, I next tried this book and had the same problem:

Kindle Error message: Item not available for this device type.

I am using Kindle version 2.4.0 so that I can use Epubor Ultimate.
I don't have a Kindle device so I too will have to wait on a solution from Epubor.
I hit this problem with 3 books today, all published within the last 10 days. Using Kindle version 2.4.0, it tells me I must update my device to download the titles.
I also tried on my Kindle Paperwhite. It is currently running 5.18.1, the most recent version. I can download the titles to my Kindle, but when I try to take the KFX files straight from the Kindle through Epubor via USB, I see an error message failing to convert the KFX files.
I think Epubor may need an update around Amazon's new security.
I acquired a Kindle Oasis and attempted the alternate method of decrypting from the device and failed.
The error is: Note:Your Kindle device firmware is 5.16.2.1.1! Please follow this guide to download your Kindle books from Amazon website in order to remove DRM.
The link takes me to instructions that aren't applicable. So until Epubors great programmers can crack the code, we're stuck.
Adding more information to my post above. Using this guide:

I discovered that the KFX files were in a sub directory of Downloads so that part of the guide in the link was absolutely correct. However the part where I add the KFX files to Epubor for deDRM did not work, the file was accepted but simply never completed (I left the program open for an hour) and then had to force close it. The lack of USB recognition by Epubor is still correct. I send my Kindle Paperwhite edition info to you in a separate email.
Update: Epubor just came out with a new update to Ultimate and now I am able to decrypt epubs through my Kindle device connected to my laptop.
Since Amazon's removal of downloading ebooks, I have been able to keep my Windows Kindle program at version 2.4.0 and been successful at downloading my new purchases.
But today, I was unable to download a new book - Pressfield's "A Man at Arms" with the foll error:
"Item not available for this device type. Your Kindle app requires an update to view this content. Click here to download and install the free update."
It appears we may not be able to download some books with 2.4.0. Do you have a version of Ultimate that will work with a newer Kindle program yet? I'm using Ultimate 3.0.16.105.
