--- Comment #6 from John Hubbard ender8282@yahoo.com 2009-12-11 18:04:14 --- I am still seeing the error. With wine 1.1.33, the program shortly after launching complains:
jhubbard@aconcagua:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Barnes & Noble eReader$ wine ./BN\ eReader.exe fixme:wininet:InternetAttemptConnect Stub fixme:wininet:InternetCheckConnectionW fixme:wininet:InternetAttemptConnect Stub fixme:wininet:set_cookie persistent cookies not handled (L"expires=Wed, 09-Jun-2010 04:00:00 GMT; domain=.barnesandnoble.com; path=/")
and crashes. I have not tried to reinstall or find a new version of the eReader though. I can cause the crash to happen sooner by clicking the 'My Online Library' tab.
I haven't tried Ken Sharp's trick of using dlls from XP because I don't need it to work that badly.
I had thought about getting a nook but when I discovered that their eReader program wouldn't work I scrapped that plan :(. If Barnes And Nobles wants me as a customer it is THEIR responsibility to write a linux client and/or put dev time/money into Wine so that everything works out of the box. Thanks for workaround suggestions but I just don't need it to work that badly.
