Is there anyway to protect or reenable it?

My Workflow:
  • Purchase & Download ebook from Amazon onto my Mac
  • Add to Calibre Library
  • Extract ISBN
  • Download & Fill In Metadata
  • Resize Cover [out of habit - can skip]
  • Fix / Tweak ToC when Necessary
  • Convert/ ReConvert to AWZ3 in order to smarten punctuation, insert the metadata page, and ensure a ToC
  • Count Pages & Words
  • Add to Reading List
  • Sync to Kindle
Given your workflow, I would think that the x-ray file that came with the Kindle eBook would no longer match the copy you are sending to your Reader.
