#AMAZON KINDLE PC READER FOR LINUX INSTALL#

They arent going to just kick customers off but if you need to install old version on another computer it wont work. This seems to be Amazon's soft easy way of easing people off older versions. It shouldnt make you reregister, but I dont know that. If you truly need older version, you might install v1.30 to register on a particular computer, then reinstall say v1.17. Not like there is a lot of choice, since 1.17 and older versions will install in WINE and load, but cant register. Without booting up a windows computer just to read.Īnyway just posting this that latest v1.30 does indeed work and seems quite stable. I just like reading the books on Puppy so all I care is to have a Kindle for PC that is stable and can communicate with Amazon. If I needed some reference book or other book I want for the long term, then I would buy a physical copy. I mostly read free tosser fiction (mystery and scifi) so dont have any real reason to save it. Some people dont like Kindle for PC newer than 1.26, since Apprentice Alf plugin for Calibre cant handle newer format books. As point of reference I am using 32bit WINE 6.3-staging. They give details there of folders you need to create. I looked on WineHQ and sure enough they rated v1.30 gold. (except notebook function that requires a late version IE which is impossible in WINE) Ok this sounded way too easy. So was reading and surprised to read one post on some forum that Kindle for PC v1.30 will work, IF you add like three empty folders properly named. There is no easier way if you want choice.

POL makes it easy to pick what version WINE you want for particular software and whether 32bit or 64bit. There is some new two step security thing that 1.13 cant handle. It would connect, but wouldnt accept my username/password. Somebody mentioned using v1.13 to register then upgrading to 1.17. There was a way to use 1.20 or 1.21 if you used older version to register then manually upgraded.Īnyway recently I had to install Kindle for PC on Buster Dog that I hadnt previously used for WINE, and v1.17 wouldnt let me register, it said it couldnt connect. Connect the Kindle Fire to your computer with a USB.For long time people wanting to use Kindle for PC in WINE were limited to v1.17.xx. To install gMTP in Ubuntu, use the following command: sudo apt install gmtp Step 2: Connect Kindle to Ubuntu: This application will help you in connecting the Kindle (or any other media device) with its easy-to-use graphical interface.
