@DiapDealer: skindle is a command line utility and is written in C. It comes with source. Compile it on your Linux system. It should work.

It can't be compiled on Linux, it accesses Windows dll's to get the information it needs from K4PC. The problem isn't skindle running under Wine, the problem is how K4PC gets installed under Wine. The install creates a kindle.info file that is slightly different than the one created on Windows.

But skindle seems to do what mobidedrm did but without requiring Kindle4PC to load the book into ram. All in all, a very slick puppy.

Skindle uses the decryption routines from an older version of MobiDeDRM. It works fine for the most part, but can result in corruption on certain ebooks. There's newer and slicker puppies out there

I think what I would do if I were running Linux is build a Windows VM using VirtualBox and stop using Wine.

That's what I've been doing for some time now. It works, but I hate it. Using Windows in a virtual environment on Linux (Wine or VirtualBox) makes me feel dirty. I am unclean.
