How does one apply the patch?

From within /usr/bin, as /usr/bin/wintricks is just a script:
/usr/bin # patch -p0 < /home/user/wine.patch
or best to test first:
# patch -p0 --dry-run < /home/user/wine.patch
Fiddle with -p0 or -p1, or could manually delete the "/usr/bin/" folder
locations as you already know what file is being patched. It's a very simple
patch and you could apply it manually! (Just comment out the old w_download
line and replace with the new w_download line!)

Now I get:
kindle install completed, but installed file
/home/abdrahim/.local/share/wineprefixes/kindle/dosdevices/c:/Program
Files/Amazon/Kindle For PC/Kindle.exe not found.
Kindle will not start

Ok. Got it to work. I completely removed all of wine. Had to rename the
applications file in /home.local/share. I installed wine1.3 afresh. Then use
the manual download from the Kindle site, which I placed in my home directory,
Using the wine windows loader. This put the Kindle menu items in wine whereas
winetricks method previously did not - even when using configure wine.
After all of this Kindle would not start. to make it work, I had to remove the
Manifests folder from c:\programs\windows\winsxs. It finally now works. I hope
this saves someone an entire evening or more.

With the attached patch, you shouldn't have to manually download unless the
sha1sum is failing again because they modified the source file again -- which
is likely.
Your second issue, I'm unsure about because I didn't use winetricks to
start/execute the Amazon Kindle application. I used:
$ wine $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Amazon/Kindle/Kindle.exe
I don't know why you performed a complete reinstall of Wine.
Another thought, does Kindle.exe work fine afterwards?
(I'm using =app-emulation/wine-1.3.34)

Thanks so much for the tip about the manifests folder inside winsxs. Got the
new version of Kindle working now.
