Two programs I can't find in the POL listings are a pair of titles which are very handy to those who publishing and market Kindle e-books — PublisherRocket and KindleCreate.

KindleCreate is a freebie offered by Amazon.com for formatting Kindle e-books. The relevant page is https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GUGQ4WDZ92F733GC. It requires Windows 8.1 minimum.

PublisherRocket is a commercial program which provides powerful search feature, allowing a book's "key phrases" to be fine-tuned for the Amazon.com algorithms, allowing a book on any given topic to have a better chance of being "found" in searches. (See https://publisherrocket.com/.)

PublisherRocket has a 30-day free trial, and during that period I tried numerous times to install it (making various attempts with POL, Winetricks, Bottles, Lutris, and even the 14-day trial-version of Crossover). I can say that I'm consistently adept at failing in all the Wine-related programs I tried.

How does one appeal to the POL-savants to get programs like these tested? And…

…now that I think about it, how should I go about cleaning out the hidden file-detritus of all my failed installation attempts regarding these two programs (including e-Sword, which I mentioned in another posting)?

Thanks!

You can test it using debug feature on PlayOnLinux, by creating shortcut, or run cmd on a playonlinux virtual drive, and run the exe inside the virtual drive, and see the debug output.
