Kindle app won't run with Wine

[arcrepublic]

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the Kindle for Windows app specifically or with Wine. I initially tried installing the app through Winetricks but it gave me an error about renaming the .exe. Instead, I downloaded it from Amazon and tried running it manually but it said there was a program error and quit. It still seems to have installed but, when I try to run it, it gives me another program error. I ran it from the terminal and got the output below, though I don't know if it's any help in figuring this out. I also tried installing Spotify through Wine and had almost the exact same problem so it seems like this is a problem with Wine, not Kindle. Can anyone help me out with this?

EDIT: I just noticed that the output says something was "called in 32-bit code" a couple lines down. I'm running the 64-bit version of LM12, so could this be causing problems?

Suggestion only .
Does it "need" to be a Win app? . . a Linux alternative that works for me, and may work for you. . pls try Calibre, it's free for download via the Package manager.

Calibre is awesome for books that don't have DRM but I have Kindle Edition textbooks that won't work with it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I don't used Wine but I have some workarounds for you:

Try using the Kindle Cloud Reader, it works within Firefox, Safari and Chrome web browsers
https://read.amazon.com/about
I've added it to my Chrome web browser from the Chrome Web Store:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... khjjeneebd
After signing in I was able to see all my purchased e-books from Amazon.

If you still interested in having Spotify you can use the Spotify "Preview" for Linux
http://www.spotify.com/int/download/previews/
Just follow the instructions at the end of the post in the "Spotify for Linux" section. I've been using it and it works pretty good.

As richyrich says it is healthy to look for Linux alternatives; personally I don't use Wine since it tends to fail often (or maybe I don't know how to use it ). Hope this tips help you.

Note: I'm using Mint 12 32-bit version.

I havent tried this ... yet.
