Oh, and on topic. I've had this app for a few days and it is no more useful than the old MobiRead app. At least for me since 99% of my ebooks are not from Amazon.

Solution to Kindle for PC on Mac running Parallels

Go to the shell (by opening Terminal) and type the following command:

mkdir "$HOME/Documents/My Kindle Content"

Then relaunch the Kindle for PC software and it will work. For some reason the software is unable to create the directory it needs and that causes the downloads to fail.

Interesting. But, can you explain how creating a folder on the Mac affects the Kindles PC software. Unless you have parallels set to mirror your PCs user folder onto your Mac one. I don't use that in Fusion, I think it is to slow and many apps seem to have a problem with it.
