To get the latest version of Wine you have to add the WineQH repository by following these instructions: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb<br />After that uninstall any wine 1.2 package and install the package called "wine1.3" <br />I used the Synaptic Package Manager which you can find under System->Administration <br />Hope this helps and happy reading!Robin Carnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12234037346522880192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506594681349253427.post-7653001415079850772010-11-25T22:38:55.966+08:002010-11-25T22:38:55.966+08:00Kindle for PC 1.3 working on OpenSuse 11.3 with Wi...Kindle for PC 1.3 working on OpenSuse 11.3 with Wine 1.2.

Turns out, you have to change the permission of the file first. Once it's installed, there is a shortcut added to the wine menu for the program, but when I click on it, I see the clock indicating something is loading for a second or three and then....nothing. Nothing at all. Why is it still so often that these would be easy and straight forward linux tips just don't work at all?? So frustrating!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404452049204980054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506594681349253427.post-8435128754551941732010-04-29T07:03:34.299+08:002010-04-29T07:03:34.299+08:00Excellent!

I can now read books on all of my pc's, my iPad, and my Blackberry. I am really impressed with the way that it will save your place in a book on one platform and allow you to continue reading on another platform. And it's great being able to download previews for books before purchasing!Adam Gotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542763810905604099noreply@blogger.com
