Not sure if someone else has tried or posted this already, but I was able to finally run Kindle on my Ubuntu Linux computer, following some online instructions. I am running Kindle for PC 1.3.0 Build 30884 though, not most recent version. This is what I did (for whoever is interested or running Ubuntu):

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.3

Then download Kindle 1.3, I put it on my Home folder. And right click and open using Wine. It works like a charm! I can sync, read books and even download locally on my Linux machine.

I got Kindle 1.3 from: http://www.filehorse.com/download-kindle-for-pc/7000/

By the way, I am running 64bit version of Ubuntu Lucid.
