After I made my backup, I get a file named backup.ab which is 1kb in size. I choos this file in the 'Kindle for Android' Tab in the DeDRM plugin and enter a 'random' key and after I confirm I get the following error message:

Wow - it has now taken me 3 hours to get Bluestacks running on Win10. I tried it with this book (Amazon)

There is always more than one way to skin a cat. It is good to have multiple ways.

I was lucky that my MSI laptop came with a MSI tweaked version of Bluestacks, so I didn't have to install it, and I'm already running a game on it, so it was already set up.
To start of I want to mention that I installed 4.17, instead of 4.16. The hitch I had was when I went to do the backup of 'com.amazon.kindle' it kept generating a 47 byte file. I ended up having to do 'adb backup -all'. It created a 400mb backup.ab, but the Calibre plugin was able to parse it ok and got the key it needed from it. |

Also Bluestacks is a Windows based emulator, so unsurprisingly won't work on WINE. The Official Google Android SDK runs on Linux to run Android apps and there are other solutions too.
