When installing Kindle on my Linux system, it crashes on the moment you try to open a book.
This seems to be an old "feature" => https://bugs.winehq.org/
Thus by copying Times New Roman and Courrier New to the /home/%user%/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts is indeed solving the problem.
Tested with
- openSUSE 13.1 (x86_64)
- Kindle 1.10.8
