Amazon Kindle for PC Forum

I am trying to install the app Kindle for windows in my notebook Acer Aspire Nitro 5 running Linux Mint 19.3. First I selected a windows 7 32 bits bottle. It failed. I tried also Windows 10 32 bits as also 64 bits. All them didn't work. I must say that I downloaded the binary file "KindleForPC-installer-1.28.57030.exe" with a notebook Acer running windows 7 professional 64 bits. Can you advise me the procedure step by step to install this app in my notebook running Linux Mint 19.3 with the "crossover_19.0.1-1.deb"?
Thanks in advance

Hello,

Don't install Kindle yourself. Let Crossover install it for you. Select Kindle for Pc as the application and don't change the installer. The latest version of Kindle won't work in Crossover.

Just follow the instructions.

Regards,
Carlos

Hello,
The only Kindle application in Crossover Linux is Amazon Kindle for PC Simplified Chinese Edition, so I downloaded the latest English edition (version 1.29) from Amazon and used it as the installer file. Installation failed with the following error messages :

Starting '/opt/cxoffice/bin/wineloader' 'winewrapper.exe' '--no-quotes' '--desktop' 'root' '--run' '--'
'/opt/cxoffice/lib/wine/rundll32.exe.so' 'setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection' 'win7Install' '128' '/opt/cxoffice/share/crossover/bottle_data/crossover.inf'

No idea what went wrong. Any hints ?
Thanks!

Hello,

This version won't work with crossover. Please use this:

"Amazon Kindle for PC" if you don't see it be sure that you have checked "Include entries for untested and known-not-to-work" in your Preferences.

Then it will try to download the installer but amazon won't distribute kindle 1.19 anymore, so you must find it and download it yourself. Then tell crossover where is it.

Tell us how is going

Many thanks for your help. I followed your suggestions and Crossover found Kindle for PC 1.19.2 Build 46095 without my having to search for it. Installation went smoothly until I was asked to sign in to my Kindle account. But during the sign-in process the program crashed. I manage to run Kindle but each time I try to sign in to my account the program crashes, so I never got up to the next stage, installing the 1.21.0 Patch. Below is the program error list (sorry, a bit long), in case it contains a clue as to what's going on.
Thanks again.

wine-3.14-8031-g2a3ec93? What Crossover version do you have?

The patch is completely optional

I'm using Crossover 18.1.0. Will upgrading to Crossover 19 help?

You can try with a free trial first but I haven't tested in Crossover 18 for a long time

It worked! I used the trial version of Crossover 19. This time it behaved exactly as you described. I had to download Kindle 1.17 somewhere (fortunately it's still available on many sites) and got Crossover 19 to install it. Everything went very smoothly, including the registration of my new device on the Kindle site. Thank you so much for your help and patience!

No worries! Once you are registered you can upgrade it to 1.21.0, and this is the maximum for now. I think that if you upgrade Crossover now you will be able to install Crossover 20 when it is available.

Have a great day

Why don't you try this suggestion over at DiGiztal.Kindle App Installation

Thanks a lot for the help, Digiztal version worked smoothly! Also, I loved the free stuff on the site... Here I am using Windows but I have Linux back in my house in Larnaca. Could you please tell me if it is possible to use Kindle on Linux?

Yes you can use Kindle on Linux via CrossOver just be sure that you download the Kindle for PC version: Kindle For PC 1.19.2 Build 46095

I am having a similar issue, but related to moving the bottle from one desktop to another. It works in my old desktop, but not in my new one. Is there a configuration file or registry setting or something i need to be aware of? They are both running 20.0.2.

The issue i am having is that it will not connect to amazon. It complains about the network settings, but they look ok.

I am having the same issue as the last person who posted before me. I found the Kindle For PC 1.19.2 Build 46095 on the internet. Crossover told me a couple of times that it is actually the chinese version which would explain the fonts on the home page, they are little fuzzy.

It installed and I can run it but the app complains about not being able to connect to the internet. It want's me to check the proxy settings but I don't have a proxy and it made no difference when I told it so.
