The backup method, I believe, depends on the app to cooperate. And if the app doesn't allow backup, root access won't do it with the backup command. In the hires version backup won't work, but I think the database file can still be copied. But it was easier to write the instructions with upgrading the 4.16 version, which has multiple ways to get into calibre.
I'm having the same issues with Bluestacks (I tried installing on two different PCs to make sure there wasn't something device specific) and I attempted to do this, but it appears that Bluestacks blocks access to the data folder even if root is enabled.

Are you able to expand on how you did it?

adb pull /data/data/com.amazon.kindle/databases/map_data_storage.db

Results in a "permission denied" error for me.
