Does native wininet help?
I haven't tried that yet, but since all of the network related aspects of the app work, I wouldn't think that would help. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

OK, I just tried using native wininet, and it didn't change anything for the better - I get a crash dialog telling me that the app needs to close when opening a book. Strangely enough, the app keeps working fine beyond that point (I can still go back to my library). I don't see the crash dialog when using the builtin wininet. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Using native DLLs for each of those (and riched32) doesn't change anything. One thing to make note of is that the reader bundles WebKit and it's own JavaScript engine. I assume it's using those for the UI. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

When it downloads the book it leaves it with a .tmp extention. If you change the .tmp to .epub it still is unable to read the file correctly. However if you copy the file over from a working windows install it will open fine. Thinking about it, if the eReader is doing encryption it could be a crypt32.dll problem. There is some graphical issues with the ui when you open a book, but these issues are secondary to opening the book. Will test the crypt32.dll issue idea and get back to you. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I notice ubuntu 10.04 treats the eBook file as a .zip file when it has the .tmp extension. If I can figure out what is going on I will give more information. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

When I bring up one of the purchased Nook eBooks text is definitely visible. Only annoying thing is that it displays three pages wide with not option to change this. Not sure if that has anything to do with my being on a 22" monitor, or not, as I have no other monitors to try it on. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Sorry I don't have that in the version I'm using. Perhaps because I'm using OpenBox (windows decorations that cover that option). When I undecorate the window, Nook crashes. However, it is telling me to download the latest version 2.5.2.458. That's what I'm running now and the workaround still works. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
