Nope, custom generated using the tools originally created by (inactive) user shinew in this thread: Hacks X-Ray file generator for Kindle Touch. It downloads Shelfari/Wikipedia information, parses the book to match data to locations, and builds an X-Ray file.

Ephemerality has given new life to the command-line and GUI standalone tools, and a brand-new thread here: X-Ray Builder - Windows Application.

mjwilson maintains the calibre plugin, with the latest version here in shinew's old thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...85#post2856985

Presumably calibre 2.x will give yet another revived project a new thread.



The plugin should put it in the right place, but the standalone application requires manually placing the resultant *.asc in the appropriate location. Scripting could help with that, as ever.
