Kindle app on ubuntu 17.10
so amazon wants to have an icon pinned on all ubuntus but when comes time to release it's flagship app it's windows and mac only?
I digress
I like calibre so far but just in case and for the sake of geeking out over making it work, is there a way to run it via wine?
I tried this fix : https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1913348&p=11631859#post11631859
and in this case I did the same for the 64bit twin of the file in question since since my wine is 64bit it's probably running in 64bit mode by default.
I currently am running wine-3.0 (stable) ubuntu 17.10 64bit with all updates as of 12/02/2018

You'll need PlayOnLinux. Open terminal and type sudo apt-get install playonlinux winbind -y and search for Amazon Kindle in the software. Select Amazon Kindle and then install.

I can install it via WineTricks without issue, I can sign in after using an OTP from Amazon, but Help, Check for Problems shows no internet connectivity and I cannot sync my library.
The fix listed above doesn't change anything for me. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Anyone else with ideas?
