Not working for me either, but your issue looks like you haven't added any kindle serial numbers: "DeDRM v6.6.3: Failed to decrypt with error: No key found in 0 keys tried."

No keys...

If that's from or for an E-ink Kindle, then add its serial number to the plugin customization. Otherwise, download it with Kindle for PC 1.24 or earlier.
