Would you mind sharing the URL you downloaded it from and/or a hash of the file?

The Android app uses the extension ".prc" for book files in MOBI or KF8 (azw3) format. It looks like you have a usable file there. It is the same size as that book's .azw3 file delivered to my older Kindle device.
That book has DRM so you will need to extract the decryption key for the Kindle Android app from BlueStacks in order to make use of it.

I am not familiar with BlueStacks, but a quick Google came up with: In BlueStacks, at the top right, click the Gear, Settings, Preferences, and check "Enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB)".
If that doesn't work it might be possible to obtain the needed file if BlueStacks allows access the app's private storage or if the emulated Android OS can be rooted.
Based on what you have done so far this could likely turn out to be a viable alternative to using Kindle for PC/Mac and avoid the need to obtain an e-ink Kindle to obtain access to books. Please keep us updated.
