Workarounds
I used the workaround which is pointed out by Zootal; I installed 1.16.44025 first and register an amazon account, and then I have installed 1.20.47037.
For handling Japanese characters, I executed the following command:
winetricks allfonts,
winetricks fontsmooth-rgb.

Additional Comments
I usually installed kindle without winetricks before. At that time, even using the workaround above, left-clicking on words sometimes caused crashes when using version 1.20.Once I installed kindle 1.20 through winetricks and then followed the workaround. From that time, I have never come across such a buggy behavior for left-clicking on words.It is maybe a mere coincidence, but I report this here.
