One thought on - Kindle App On CentOS 7?
Mark:
Older version(s), e.g. 1.17 of Kindle for PC worked fine on wine (on my Ubuntu 18.04 VM), but some of the later versions didn’t. I was using it for DeDRM, and since I wasn’t smart enough to figure out the correct incantation to make later versions work, I chose a different approach. I
can tell you what that was if you care.
I used Ubuntu because I’ve never had any luck making things work in Wine on CentOS, possibly because RH/CentOS only ship 64-bit wine and Calibre and Kindle for PC are 32-bit. There’s a (somewhat outdated) HOWTO on Apprentice Alf’s blog about doing the kindle on Ubuntu setup that I followed, and it was close enough to let me get it working. I don’t have a clue about whether 20.04 is still close enough, or not.
