Yes! I read an e-book on my Linux computer \o/
I did this on 2013-10-25 with SUSE Linux 12.2.
- I went to http://www.amazon.com and got some free e-books.
- I downloaded their Kindle reader for Windows
- I deleted the old version of the Windows Emulator wine from my computer. To do this, open a console and type
rpm -e wine wine-32bit wine-mp3
- I knew that I have a 64bit computer. If you do not know, find out if your system is 64bit or 32bit
- I downloaded wine 1.7.4 and wine-32bit 1.7.4 for SUSE Linux from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_12.2/x86_64/
Then download wine-gecko from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_12.2/noarch/
Then install it:
rpm -ivh wine-1.7.4-290.1.x86_64.rpm wine-gecko-2.24-43.1.noarch.rpm wine-32bit-1.7.4-290.1.x86_64.rpm
