Kindle Unable to Connect

[toXel]

I ran into the same issue today and was able to solve it. The problem is that Kindle version 1.16 (which is installed by winetricks with this Ansible script) needs an outdated SSL certificate to connect to the Amazon servers.

I have a possible other solution I'm working on to import the certificate into wine.

What happens if you manually create a new wine prefix and install Kindle to it; does it work?

Nothing in the Ansible code has anything to do with networking.

@edent does importing the certificate @toXel found work for you?

I've looked but can't find a way to programmatically import additional certificates into wine, so I don't think I can handle this automatically.

I'll get around to documenting this in more detail in the README, but I think the simplest solution is to download the certificate, then do WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_dedrm wine control and importing it in manually.

Took me a while to figure out where and how to import the certificate. But, once done, it connected and I can read books in-app. Thanks.

So, I think importing this reg file with regedit will work:

Can someone please try importing this file with WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_dedrm wine regedit and then "Registry -> Import Registry File" and see if it works?

If it does I'll automate this.

(I can't tell if the cert is added with some machine-specific encryption or not, and can't find an automated way to have Wine import this.)

For the record, the actual certificate (taken from @toXel 's link) is:

Hm no importing the .reg file doesn't work for me. But it also doesn't work if I import the cert via wine control. I had to put it into /etc/ssl/certs with the correct file name. This may be a security risk so I would prefer a wine prefix only solution.

[ivan-m]

Hi @toXel,

Can you please try checking out the kindle-certificate branch and seeing if that fixes it for you? I'm unable to replicate the original problem so I can't tell if this solution is sufficient.

[toXel]

@ivan-m It works! Big thank you for taking your time to fix this! And thanks for this nice Ansible project for such a niche use case :)

[ivan-m]

I'm glad it worked :D

Now to get Python 3 support...
