The alternative is using ADE or Kindle4PC under WINE, but it is not so easy to extract the keys, since python does not always want to install under WINE.  |
WINE will run Calibre for Windows, though, which has its own Python and will find K4PC or ADE. You can use the portable version and you only have to do it once.

I spent a moderate amount of time trying to get Kobo Desktop to run under WINE and couldn't get it to work, but I'm not sure if that's a measure of the difficulty of the task or of the limitations of my abilities.
