Mobipocket Reader and Wine? - Page 2

SeaWolf · 07-03-2008, 12:23 AM

The apps page at WINE HQ has a good run down:

What works
Reading a Secure ebook.
Reading a non-Secure ebook.

What does not
Importing new ebooks into the library (see below for how to add them manually).
Connecting to any online bookstore.

What was not tested
Importing/reading non-prc ebooks (books in something other than the mobipocket format).

I'd be curious to know how you go.

Using Ubuntu 11.04, and the version of Wine currently in the repository, I just installed the Mobipocket Reader and it appears to run fine. No special setup needed, and it imported a short example Mobipocket document without problems.

I will post an updated report in WineHQ when I am sure about the stability.
