Opened Firefox and clicked the bookmark for cloudreader website. Then I pinned it, right click on the book cover image and choose pin.Ĭlosed Firefox. No mention of limits, no real description how all this works at all. Then choose book or books from your library to dowload for off line. You navigate Firefox to the kindle cloud reader webpage. I tried on Firefox, ok there is no extension or app. Ok, did some searching and apparently now you can do cloud reader on any browser without an extension?! It had been a while since I had used the cloud reader extension on Chrome. I have a n-lited version winXP too that is truly small and fast, but Kindle for PC 1.16 was last version that worked in XP. Can run it in a virtual machine I suppose. I have a n-lited version of win7 around here somewhere. The encryption stuff is biggest heaviest part of it.Ĭourse even current Kindle for PC 1.26? works in win7. Think of it as an ebook reader with encryption. Kindle for PC doesnt require a lot of processing power. Oh not ideal for antique marginal computers, but any dual core, even early ones should have no problem. Once installed to where its functional, WINE is not a problem.

But if nobody figures out how to make newer Kindle for PC work with WINE, then this might be way to go when Amazon deprecates the last of versions that work in WINE. Using any Android app on big screen with mouse not ideal. I did google enough to find one guy that got it working in Genymotion emulator. I have been thinking about Kindle for Android app in an emulator. It just felt kludgy and unintuitive to me. If you have constant high speed connection it might work for you. Yes it can be done, but not worth the effort for most part. Dont like it, its tedious to make it store books to use offline. I have tried the Cloud Reader addon for Chrome. Still lot hoop jumping for a one time read of free fiction book. I have in past played with Apprentice Alf addon and it usually works, but there are some books it wont convert.

You would still need Kindle somewhere just to download the books. Books I probably only read once in this lifetime.

If you wanted to use Calibre, you would have to install its unofficial addon from Apprentice Alf, to let it de-DRM books.

I get companies not wanting to make a special linux version for relatively small market share, but exactly how would it be that difficult to make sure they work in some version of WINE? Cant be seriously more expensive. 1.15 and earlier have been deprecated and no longer work. Time will tell how long this will work, 1.17 is last version that runs in WINE, so once Amazon deprecates 1.16 and 1.17, unless some clever person figures out how to make later version work, that will be it. There are other handy small windows programs that work in WINE, but for me I wouldnt bother with WINE except to run Kindle for PC. It tries to download newer version then complains it cant install it. Have to unenable it, then reboot and re-enable it. The dictionary does work though takes bit effort, wont work first try after downloading.

Yes this will install in full install Puppy though you will get warning that its experimental on full install Puppy. Then still using Quickpet, install 32bit compatibility SFS. Use Puppy Quickpet in the menu and first install 64bit WINE pet.

This isnt very intuitive, but easy once you figure it out.
