Been using Wine under Linux sucessfully to even play games and as far as I know Wine should also work for Apples running OSX+ (it's Unix after all).
So maybe anybody can give it a shot. |
I had a partially successful result. I'm using a recent vintage of wine under Fedora Core 8. I've also previously found and run scripts that download and install Internet Explorer under wine, so that may have had some effect also. In any case, I was able to install the mobipocket desktop .msi file. The window layout is not perfect, and the title thumbnails don't display properly, but if I change the library layout to show the detailed title view, I was able to see all of the titles. If I select a title, I can read it OK -- the page navigation keys and mouse widgets work fine. I haven't tried more than the basic reading features, so I don't know if there are additional limitations.
