Text output from ./KindleForPC-installer-1.26.55076.exe

This is a new Wine installation, and this is the first application I tried to
run. I am going to add some things just in case it is relevant. 
It is desired to install the latest Kindle for Windows version 
following generally the advice set out here: 
https://ajreissig.com/kindle-linux-read-kindle-books-linux-system/
Option 3 of the guidance "Conversion" was followed. 

An additional complication is that Kindle offers books sourced 
from both www.amazon.com and from www.amazon.co.uk, hence for 
at least the initial installation, www.amazon.com will be used. 

The first attempt, with the most recent download from Amazon, 
failed. The version before build 38420 from filehippo appeared 
to function correctly, but timed out when I attempted to 
register the application. I later found that Amazon had emailed 
a one-time code to me to allow completion of the registration. 

Although Q4Wine is installed, for test purposes, the commandline 
will be used to execute the attempted re-installation of the 
latest Kindle Application. 

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/

./KindleForPC-installer-1.26.55076.exe

chmod to make the file executable

The execution fails after opening a window offering the choice of a cancel or 
opening the wine debug. There are some warning messages. 

Wine offered to install wine mono and that seemed to complete ok. 
Wine then offered to install gecko 
Clicking Ok produced a bunch of fixme messages.  

The execution appears to have hung. 

I will have a look at the things Wine complained about and attempt a reinstall.
