The reason for import failure can be obtained from a log file. Click the calibre Preferences drop-down menu and choose "Restart in debug mode". Re-import the book and then close calibre. A log file will appear.

That failure is caused by something about your Linux installation that in incompatible with the Python library used by calibre. It has nothing to do with this plugin.
