Is this "storage" folder only create the first time it is needed? I can find Kindle.exe, but no storage folder in that directory.

In my case, I am running KindleForPC on Linux, under Wine (PlayOnLinux wrapper for Wine, specifically).

Here's my "Kindle Directory":

$ pwd
~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/kindle_1.17/drive_c/Program Files/Amazon/Kindle
$

And it's contents:

$ ls
audio               icuuc46.dll          langmap            Microsoft.VC90.CRT  Qt5Core.dll               Qt5Sensors.dll        ssleay32.dll

I can create the "storage" file manually easy enough, but wanted to check if the file location may be somewhere else depending on KindleForPC version (I'm using 1.17).

Or, I could make the Kindle directory and all it's subdirectories read-only, so no new storage directory could be created anywhere. That might have a few unintended consequences though.
