Have you installed corefonts
via PlayonLinux? This would be done with winetricks
if you were using wine
directly. PlayonLinux could have brought this in, but you should double check to confirm.
Have you installed the Ubuntu packages needed for Microsoft fonts?
sudo apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

I was able to solve the problem following these:
Select Kindle in the PlayOnLinux app
Click on the configure icon at the top
Change the Wine Version to 3.0 from the dropdown (if you cannot see it, install Wine 3.0 first!)
Create a desktop shortcut from PlayOnLinux
- Copy the
.desktop
file and paste it inusr/share/applications
using administrative privileges

Change the Wine Version to 3.0 from the dropdown (if you cannot see it, install Wine 3.0 first!)
Create a desktop shortcut from PlayOnLinux
