It looks like that book is from a Kindle device. You need to configure the plugin with the serial number of that Kindle.

I see a PRC extension. Was it downloaded with Kindle for Android? At this time, these tools work with Kindle books from E-ink Kindles or Kindle for PC/Mac.

[dybal]

It was downloaded with Kindle for PC (an older version)

There's an issue for some Linux systems that keeps DeDRM from finding Python. (You do need to have Python and PyCrypto installed under Wine.) Try manually running the key retrieval script under Wine, and import the key into calibre. For example:

wine python.exe "/home/dybal/.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM/libraryfiles/kindlekey.py" "/home/dybal/winekeysdir"

(You may need to create /home/dybal/winekeysdir first, and then the retrieved key(s) should be put there.)

There's some discussion of the problem in this old issue #53.

Downloaded with Kindle for PC 1.0 Beta 1 running under wine. DDRM worked fine with about 50 other books downloaded with this version of Kindle for PC... would that happen if it didn't find python?

[dybal]

Run: wine python.exe "/home/dybal/.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM/libraryfiles/kindlekey.py" "/home/dybal/.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM/libraryfiles/winekeysdir/"

In answer to your question "DeDRM worked fine with about 50 other books downloaded with this version of Kindle for PC... would that happen if it didn't find python?"

Well, the previous log first says "Found 0 keys to try after 0.1 seconds" which means DeDRM hasn't ever found any working keys to save. Then further down it says "wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\python.exe"".

Were those 50 other books downloaded with a different installation of Kindle for PC and calibre/DeDRM?

I don't know why your key couldn't be decrypted when you ran the key retrieval script. You're able to read the book in Kindle for PC?

[apprenticeharper]

Kindle for PC 1.0 beta is ancient. I'm astonished it will still connect to the Amazon servers. You really should use 1.17. I'm pretty sure 1.0 beta isn't supported by these tools any more.

Please raise a new issue if you still need help.
