I tried a large number of the usual hacks (winetricks, winbind etc.), but nothing helped. My question is whether there is any way to persuade Wine to give me some information on what is being done to the network, and what is failing? Given that, I may be able to get somewhere. From Kindle, I get the helpful message "unable to connect" from ADE, I get more words, but no more information. These are the standard versions, so its Wine 4.0.2 under buster. Note that ALL of those applications are the same binaries in the two Debians, and I can still run the latter two by rebooting into the older system. There is not a single diagnostic or clue either to the console or in /var/log. Under Debian 8 (jessie), all of Memorymap, Internet Explorer, the Kindle app and Adobe Digit Editions work under Debian 10 (buster), they all run but only the first two can connect to the Internet. I have an almost identical issue, and created a new post, which is awaiting moderation. Search is effectively disabled, for some reason, and I missed this. In summary, this is all turning out to be quite painful, and if a similarly flippant "response" is posted I'm probably going to just give up.ĭamn. But certainly "man winetricks" makes it sound like it should've put them somewhere obvious! I must confess to also being puzzled as to exactly what "winetricks" actually does, since after exiting I cannot find any of the programs I installed with it in "~/.wine" or using "wine explorer.exe". Nevertheless, I also installed the BNN Nook reader with winetricks and I can't log in to my BNN account either the error message says "the system is unavailable at this time" although once again there does appear to be a connection because if I mistype my password it instead tells me it's wrong! But there MUST be network connectivity within the wine program space because otherwise winetricks would not have been able to download and install anything! Trying to test my connection from the wineconsole cmd with "ping" produces the cryptic error "fixme:ping:main this command currently just sleeps based on -n parameter" which, according to a posting from 2.5 years ago, is a bug in wine. This is according to the "Help -> Check for Problems" popup (which also says I haven't got secure storage or the dictionary downloads, though that's secondary). Second, I cannot update to the latest version from within the Kindle program because it apparently thinks it is not connected to the internet. This makes it impossible to install the latest version directly, so winetricks was the only option even though it installs an older version. Other ebook-reading software includes Microsoft Reader and Mobipocket.I am having this exact same problem, and the response above is not helpful.įirst, like quietforest I found the Kindle-Installer downloaded from Amazon "unpacked" itself but then exited without actually doing the install. Apple users are out of luck at the moment, although Amazon has promised a Mac version soon. You need to be running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, Vista or Windows 7. Kindle for PC requires a computer with a 500MHz Intel or AMD processor or faster, at least 128MB of RAM and 100MB of available disk space, and a display with a resolution of 800圆00 pixels or greater. You can also browse and buy ebooks at the Kindle Store. Kindle for PC does have a few perks: it's in colour, and, on touch-sensitive computers running Windows 7, you'll be able to swipe a finger to turn the page and explore menus. We're not sure if the world is ready for reading books on your computer - we're barely ready for ebook readers - but it might be a useful tool for students or those who can't bear to be away from their screen for even a moment. You don't need a Kindle to use Kindle for PC, but, if you have one, it will sync your bookmarks and keep your place across different devices using Whispersync. Amazon has announced a desktop version of its Kindle ebook-reader software, allowing you to read ebooks on your computer.
