Kindle Reader For Mac 10.7.5

- Kindle for Mac is read-only without search. Quoting from an ebook is risky without search, and complex. It requires taking screen shot(s) and converting to text with an OCR application.
Sometimes, when reading books on my laptop (running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion) I would like to view two separate pages from a book in my Kindle library (or two separate books) at the same time. Unfortunately, the app does not allow more than one window open at once. To get around this, I tried creating a second instance of Kindle.app called Kindle2.app. However, when I try to open it while the first one is open, the icon just bounces in the dock and then disappears. I tried changing the CFBundleIdentifier field in Kindle2.app/Contents/Info.plist, which is an approach I have used to allow 2 copies of nvALT to run at once. However, this does not solve the problem. What should I do?
PS I know I can use Kindle Cloud Reader, but I would like to run a second instance of the app.

CC works on a Mac. First thing to check: are you running CC 1.10? If so, then upgrade calibre to today's release. There are some improvements in connection and in the information available to you.

There are 2 ways to do this.First open up the OSX kindle reader in the normal way. Then:
- Use the online kindle cloud reader in addition.
or
- Download the windows reader and use wineskin to open an instance. This actually works flawlessly. It is necessary sometimes as the online reader can not read all kindle books at this time.
You can open easily another instance from the commandline:
It will create a second instance of the app.
UPDATE
You could maybe also use another reader for the second book.
For example the Kindle Cloud Reader.You can read the second book directly in the browser.
Christian WörzChristian WörzSince 10.8, sandboxed applications have crashed on launch if their Info.plist has been modified. To prevent it, you can disable sandboxing by replacing the code signature with an ad-hoc signature:

When I opened Kindle2.app, it used ~/Library/Preferences/my.kindle.plist instead of ~/Library/Containers/com.amazon.Kindle/Data/Library/Preferences/com.amazon.Kindle.plist as the preference file. I still wasn't able to open Kindle.app and Kindle2.app at the same time though.
