Create a new user account with an ASCII-only username. Install and register Kindle for PC there, and see if things work running calibre and the plugin in that user account.

 If this book is from an eInk Kindle (e.g. Paperwhite), you must enter the serial number into the configuration dialog. The serial number is sixteen characters long, and is case-sensitive.
