Okay. I'm having trouble getting the plugin to work.

So here's what I did:

I downloaded the plugin and installed it as part of Calibre. So now "X-ray" appears as one of the items on the menu.

I click create X-ray and enter details from Shelfari and Wikipedia and it creates the file. I proceeded to copy the file to the SDR folder of the ebook.

This is where it gets tricky.

I tried this on TWO different books: "The Girl Who Can Fly" and "The Hypnotist" .

"The Girl Who Can Fly" says X-ray is unavailable for the book while "The Hypnotist" says 'This book does not contain X-ray concepts".

I'm pretty sure it has ASIN and GUID as I used MobiMetaEditor to check if the books do.

If it helps, I am running a jailbroken Kindle Touch at 5.3.2 with Unified Application Launcher and Custom Screensaver installed. I'm not sure if those files can affect the X-ray but I'd like to mention it anyway.

What do you think did I do wrong?
