So far that has been the case for all files I have added XRay's for.

If I resync the cover I get it back but then I lose the XRay functionality.

I am using azw3 files created by Calibre and am running kindle firmware 5.6.5 on a PW3. Running Calibre 3.8.

Not sure if it's due to my old firmware version. If it is, any idea what version # resolved the issue?
Yes, this is normal. To make the start and end actions work as expected, the tool has to use the real x-ray. Once this gets updated on the kindle, the kindle automatically replaces the cover with one from Amazon using the specified ASIN. You can update the cover then go look and see what the ASIN gets set to in the book and update the ASIN in the tool to use that same value. Note that doing this will break the functionality of start and end actions -- you will not be able to update your goodreads status using mark as reading or mark as read.
