I searched through this forum and the Wine DB before trying, but found so little real data that I decided to just try it. I got this far and would appreciate someone with more expertise looking at the result and what to try next.

I've been searching for Kindle applications for Linux and I can only find one that relies on Wine (which I absolutely hate). Does anybody know whether there's any application out there that allows to view kindle formats without relying on Wine?
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.10 64-bit.
I had it working. After it installed, it ran and everything worked. After I closed it, I can find no way to start it again. I can not find any kindle application, anywhere.
I can not fine anything about kindle anywhere in my /home/walter/.wine directory.
Application->Wine->Programs shows me nothing.
Another problem, Amazon downloads books into /root/My Kindle Content. The only way for me to read my kindle books is chmod my /root directory, which I don't like doing.
Is there any way to remove the DRM, so I can use Calibre to view the book in an epub format? Instead of having to fight with this evil amazon format?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have done a bit of research on WineHQ and other places, but cannot seem to get Office to install. I am running openSUSE 11.2 and from what I have read, Office should install and run without issue. I have a relatively fresh install, but had added the winetricks (with lots of errors and no success) and then afterward uninstalled wine and reinstalled. (I hope that makes sense). After installing Wine the first time, I could get to about 2/3 installed before wine crashed. Now after the reinstall It crashes almost immediately after the install process begins.

Not a big problem, just annoying. I've looked through the various config files in ~home and /usr/share/wine, and can't find any parameter that might even remotely address this.

When I'm done I'm going to make a HOWTO so that others can do what I did It's hard work, but I'm nearly done.The last problem I'm having is the WINE menu on GNOME won't show up after a install of WINE from a .deb package (it usually does). This was after I compiled WINE from source and removed it with "make uninstall" and "rm -rf /.wine".So now I installed the WINE from a deb package and the Wine menu entry is not showing up.I've tried re-installing Wine and rebooting my PC but nothing seems to work.

i have some compatibility questions/concerns about switching my os. on my current windows 7 os, i transfer purchases to my pc kindle, then, once on my pc kindle account, i go to the manage my kindle account and transfer to my windows 7 by dl an azw file which i then transfer to my kindle. (i don't have a wireless card/router so i have to transfer via usb i also like this because i don't get charged?) what is whisper net? i know its not a free service?
what i want to be able to do is, (i heard calibre can access my amazon account directly from the interface but not sure if that's really true or if only true on 7 and not ubuntu) if it is true, can i still buy free/paid books for my kindle3, transfer them to calibre/or kindle pc thru wine, "manage my account" on calibre/kindle wine then dl the azw file, transfer the azw to my home folder on ubuntu, then copy/paste to my kindle3 folder on my kindle?

I have a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.10. I connected my Amazon Kindle to an USB interface in XP and in Ubuntu. From XP everything works with no flaw. In Ubuntu the data exchange is perfect, but the device does not charge.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI do a bit of programming and tinkering with Linux so I have to refer to documentation a lot. As a result my eyes do get sore when reading through documentation on PC. Another problem is when tinkering and something goes wrong, either with Ubuntu crashing or loss of internet connection, I can't get access to the relevant document to fix it. Because of these, I was thinking of getting an e-reader, in particular, an Amazon Kindle as it is the only one I've seen sold locally as I don't like buying electronic goods online as it is a hassle with shipping if anything goes wrong.
I would like some advice. Is the Kindle worth having to view documentation and tutorials? Is it easy to reference relevant material through it's search facilities? Most important of all, can it connect to (Ubuntu) Linux through a usb port?
I hope we'll understand well. So - i'm offering to earn few dollars for few hours of Your time doing something quite interesting. From long time all my activities connected with computers are painful because me eyes are becoming tired very fast, which cause headache and generally make work impossible.
Cure for my problems is e-ink, im in possesion of Amazon kindle 3 now and it's beyond awesome for me. I've checked a lot of sites and keywords about ' e-ink monitor ', or desktop display, or using e-ink reader as computer display - and at this moment there isn't single device od market with such a function, but a lot of prototypes.
I've found also, that almost all e-ink readers are functioning on linux. My knowledge about linux is less than none, but some people written, that it should be possible to somehow make kindle a display for pc by making some linux operations on both
devices. What i'm asking You is not:- informing me about disadvantages of e-ink display, framerates, movies, speed and any other things, i don't care about any of those at all
- informing me about some crap imitations of e-ink like pixel qi, anything which isn't exactly e-ink is in my book worth nothing in terms of comfortable work with text.What i'm really asking is someone that will seriously try to make amazon kindle a monitor/display for netbook/notebook/pc. I'm really not geek at all, so i will not understand any of details, i'm asking someone to do it - and write precise, step by step guide for me which will tell me what i should do to use my kindle as computer display.
It may need change of OS, it may cause lose of data, it doesn't matters - what i need is fully operational internet browser with mouse and keyboard - on e-ink. So kindle attached to any kind of pc/netbook as display will be great. If task need some changes with hardware, or inside device - i can buy the one that You will modify from You after i will see pictures as proof that it works. If someone will help me - i will pay. It's quite hard for me to somehow ' prove it here ' - but i just will, we will work out Your fee and other details.
I recently installed like every single package of wine on the "install programs" thingamabob. The only thing is that in my applications, it doesn't show wine.

View 9 Replies View Relatedwhile trying to get a game to work on wine I was surprised to find out that the wine version that ships with sid is 1.0.1 released in October 2005. So I installed the latest release I found at [URL] like this :
dpkg -i wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
The install failed, I think because I hadn't remove the old wine version, and that's when the joy-ride started. Impossible to remove wine to restart properly. (apt-get remove libwine wine and apt-get -f install didn't) After some googling I tried this :
dpkg -i --force-depends wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb
This did install the wine version I wanted, and the game ran fine after that. However the result was a borked apt-get. Tried to remove wine again with the above commands, resulting in apt-get failing to do so because it tried installing wine-unstable and reported errors similar to these : E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'wine-unstable'. see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.
