Wasn't that a great story?<br /><br />Pamela Jo : <br />There is an article on how to run "Kindle for PC" on your linex :<br /><br />http://lifehacker.com/#!5406505/run-kindle-for-pc-in-linux-with-wine<br /><br /><br />Kindle for PC is "more important than people realize." <br /><br />That's because the desktop app runs almost seamlessly in Linux with one WINE tweak, making Kindle a great little laptop or netbook reading option.<br /><br />To install Kindle for PC on your Linux system, make sure you've got WINE installed.<br /> <br />Most major distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE) offer WINE in one of their repositories, or have versions custom-made for them.<br /><br /> Need more help? We've previously written up a guide to installing and running WINE, which should help you get through.<br /><br />With WINE installed, download the Kindle for PC installer, <br /><br />then double-click on the .exe file you downloaded. <br /><br />WINE will pick it up and install it in its virtual C:/ drive. <br /><br />The one issue you'll encounter is that Kindle will automatically start up and ask you for your username and password, <br /><br />even though you can't see the fields; <br /><br />you can quit the app and fix that,<br /><br /> or just type in your username, hit Tab, then your password, and then quit.<br /><br />Full sizeHead to your system's menu and then to the WINE folder, and hit "Configure WINE"—<br /><br />if you don't see it, just run winecfg from a terminal or Alt+F2 prompt. <br /><br />In the "Applications" tab, hit "Add Application," <br /><br />then navigate to Kindle for PC in your virtual Windows drive, which is at <br /><br />C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle for PC\KindleForPC.exe by default. <br /><br />Hit OK, select KindleForPC.exe back in the Wine configuration window, <br /><br />and change the "Windows Version" drop-down at the bottom to Windows 98. <br /><br />Head back to your WINE menu, run Kindle for PC, and now all your controls and buttons should be showing up correctly.<br /><br />You can now send books and sample chapters from Amazon's Kindle store to your PC. <br /><br />If you've already installed Kindle for PC in a Windows machine and tied it to your account, <br /><br />be sure to send your Kindle items to your Linux-based reader (which was "Kindle for PC 2" in my case). <br /><br />Hope this helps, RolandRoland D.

But I thought I would garner attention for my fantasies in the most "novel" way I could!<br /><br />Aren't King and Koontz great? Can you believe it : I have never read Laurell K. Hamilton. But if you like her Anita Blake series, I bet you would love Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson urban fantasy series, set in Washington state in our modern times -- though, unknown to most, the myths and magics of the Brothers Grimm was (and is) real!<br /><br />WordsCrafter :<br />I've been a busy bee into the wee hours of the morning on this surprise.
