    Re: Kindle for PC /Wine

    Many of the download sites have now replaced the beta file with the newer non-beta that does not work in Wine, even some that say its the beta (like Tucows). However the following site still has the beta, grab it while you can. Watch the file size, if it's 6.0 MB, then its likely the new one, the beta is 5.2 MB.

    This post was a great help. I use the link from this site (5.2 MB size file) and kindle work flawlesly on my system in Windows 98 mode. This is after the new version did not work at all.

    Thanks for all the work. I looked for the first time today to find out how to install Kindle for PC on Karmic. Using the beta version worked perfect for me on both desktop and laptop.

    Has anyone tried running the patch referenced in the wine bug report? I'm curious to see if the new version works with the patch...

    Thanks so much, panther! It finally worked for me. Also, a silly mistake I made was not deleting the 'fake' beta file before I ran the new one.

    The 5.2mb beta works perfect. Thanks for posting. With it in win98 mode running in wine, KindleForPC still looks like crap though unless you enable anti-aliasing.

    FWIW, this guy has a nice tutorial with a link to a script that sets up font anti-aliasing in wine.(http://www.wine-reviews.net/wine-rev...g-in-wine.html)
