Unable to read the book on Ubuntu 20.04 LTE

[abhiaj]

As it turns out, Amazon doesn't have Kindle support for Linux Subsystems. The online kindle reader is almost useless and is unable to open this book.

I would love to know if someone has been successfully able to read this book on Linux. Here are a few ways I had in mind:

1. Using wine to install kindle app for Windows, but the Latest version of kindle app for windows is not supported by wine.
2. Using something like a mobile screen sharer to read the book from mobile to Linux. Last resort, which I really don't wanna resort to.

Do comment if you found any way to address the issue.

Here's a solution . Pls let me know if this works .You may not be able to view the book in WSL. But there is a workaround.

1.Download & install kindle app for windows & pc from this link. 2.Login to kindle using your account and allow it to sync.The book will now be available to read using the app.Read the book using this app on windows. 3.For coding , Open WSL and set up the working environment as suggested in the book.You could have the book and WSL open side by side to code along.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the solution, but I think you misunderstood. I DO NOT have a Windows system. I have a Linux system. There is no Kindle app for Linux.

@abhiaj, can you open the book in browser in https://read.amazon.com on Linux?

@abhiaj Oops ..Sry I misunderstood it completely with the WSL when you mentioned Linux subsystem.

@abhishekkrthakur Wine doesn't support the latest version of Kindle app.
