I use X-Ray constantly. I've always had trouble remembering character names and X-Ray is a great help. In a book without too many characters I still find myself using it some. In a book with a lot of characters, which a lot of the books I read are, I use it constantly.
When I read "Under the Dome" I'm not sure I'd have remembered half of the huge number of characters by the time I was half way through. X-Ray was a real life-saver.
It's true that most books don't have it yet. I read a lot of older books and I always give preference to those that do have it. And I've noticed that it keeps getting added to more and more books.
One book, I don't recall which now, updated itself because I have the auto-update feature turned on at Amazon, while I was about halfway through the book, adding X-Ray.
I think this is an important and a very major feature and I suspect as time goes by it'll become a selling point, encouraging more publishers to take it seriously.
