Running kindle on GNU/Linux with wine
I enjoy reading ebooks during my train trip to work on my nexus 7.
At home I prefer to read on my monitor since this is bigger.
Most of the time I use epub or pdf for reading, I bought a kindle version of a book from amazon assuming that I could read with amazon cloud reader at home.
Unfortunately this books is not compatible with cloud reader.
Proprietary_formats should be avoid, lesson learned (again).
To read my book at home I decided to give the windows version of kindle on wine a try
The installation was pretty straightforward on Fedora 19.
- Install wine
[root@vicky ~]# yum install wine
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
- Download Kindle for Window xp
Download it from: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_pc_ln_ar?docId=1000426311
- Run the installer
[swagemakers@vicky ~]$ wine ~/Downloads/KindleForPC-installer.exe
- Create kindle startup script
wine $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Amazon/Kindle/Kindle.exe &
Happy reading
but
It’s better to only read ebooks in an open format

I installed fedora 19 on my new pc mainly to play with ovirt which seems to be easier to install on fedora than on Debian.
Don’t worry I still have a debian system at hand…
The boot time on a ssd is fast:
The Benefits of Stopping Smoking…
Besides the health benefits you save a lot of money.
My “no smoking” Piggy Bank was fat enough to sponsor a pc upgrade.
My upgrade consists;
- a new motherboard: MSI Z87-G43
- a new cpu: Intel® Core Haswell i7-4770
- 16 GB DDR3 Ram: Crucial 16 GB DDR3-1600
- I had even some money left to purchase a nice ssd: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB
My pc is “smoking” fast now :-)
