For this book, I have to Search for ASIN, Search for GoodReadsURL and then Push on Update Aliases from URL buttons. Only after those 3 buttons, does it populate with the correct information. After I do this, the X-RAY file does get created, but it seems broken when trying to be used on Kindle.


So I guess what I am trying to ask here is:

1. Can there be any X-RAY Correction done to the one that doesn't work well?

2. Is there a good indication of when an x-ray file will not work right?

I'm following this guideline at this time: If it doesn't have the book information automatically in the "Specific Book Preferences", I think it's safe to say the X-RAY will not work on Kindle. This is with my experience though.

Thanks in advance!
That's strange. When it auto-populates, all it does is run those same functions. What's the name and author of the book you were trying to do it for? I'll try to simulate it and see if I can reproduce the issue. The basic requirements for the x-ray file to be written is that it has to have it's basic information (title and author) and that the book has a goodreads page.

Also, I'll be on vacation for the next week so if I don't get back to you for a while, it's probably because of that.
