Additional Comments

Before you run wine KindleForPC-installer.exe,
You must remove a file before installing via wine

rm ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winsxs/manifests/x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4148_none_deadbeef.manifest

su
wine KindleForPC-installer.exe

To run it, you also need to be in su.
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Amazon/Kindle/
su
wine Kindle.exe

This seemed to give me all the necessary permissions. When I didn't run in root, it crashed.

HOWTO

To work around the msvcp90 bugs, delete or rename ­this file: 

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winsxs/manifests/x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4148_none_deadbeef.manifest

Note that Wine will recreate that file every time you upgrade. To avoid this, make the directory read-only.  ­
To work around bug 29045, install Times New Roman and Courier New, either systemwide or with winetricks.
