Austin, are you sure winetricks vcrun2008 actually fixes this?
It seemed to initially, but later attempts make me doubt my conclusion.
The reason I ask is that I think I ran into the same crash today trying to upgrade to Kindle for PC 1.14.43019 from 1.12.40996. The console output had the line
*** Error in `C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle\Kindle.exe': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x7d7982e0 ***
Yes, I've seen that.
right before the backtrace. I also tried installing the new version directly to a clean wineprefix, and got the same crash on the first try, but not on the second (no winetricks). What I'm seeing (after multiple startup attempts) is that the crash occurs often, but not always, with the new version of Kindle for PC, with or without winetricks vcrun2008. It also sometimes hangs with 100% CPU usage instead of crashing.
I do have some DRM'd books, but there was nothing in the console about them.
[E-0]createDocumentInfoInternal(C:\users\austin\My Documents\My Kindle Content\B00AZRBLHO_EBOK.azw) - DRM issue
is the only DRM book I have. Removing it from My Kindle Content let it start.
I'm basically just trying to figure out whether I should file a separate bug...
I think here is fine. I've adjusted the summary accordingly.
The only DRM book I have currently is http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Project-DevOps-Helping-Business-ebook/dp/B00AZ..., which was free for one day a while back. Perhaps different books have different DRM schemes?
