Since this thread is still getting views and there is a lot to wade through, a summary of the results is overdue. As near as I can tell, Amazon was delivering a very broken XRAY file with "War and Peace" as confirmed by other participants in this thread. Communicating this to Amazon proved very difficult, time consuming, and frustrating. After weeks of fruitlessly redownloading the same broken XRAY file, one day a functioning XRAY file was delivered and others had the same experience. So that part of the problem seems to be solved.
However, I soon found some XRAY content errors. PoP had earlier pointed out that the XRAY file is an sqlite database and it turned out that some XRAY content errors are reasonably easy to fix. I have done that for the errors that I know about and the SQL to perform the fix is attached to this message. The details of fixing XRAY errors is attached to this message and the details are in my thread on fixing XRAY errors.

X-ray is not working correctly for me in "War and Peace: with bonus material from Give War and Peace a Chance" ASIN B00JCDK5ME.
This book is from Simon and Schuster and has been free at Amazon for years. I noticed that it had been updated since I bought it and found that it is now X-ray enabled. I clicked update on my devices and content page then downloaded it, copied it to my Voyage and disabled airplane mode. After the XRAY menu option in the book was no longer grayed out, I tried using it.
I can select XRAY from the menu and get the lists of notable clips, people, terms, and images, but when I try to select one, I get the message: "Sorry, an error occurred"
If I highlight a word in the book that should be in X-ray, at best I get the dictionary, never X-ray.
I tried the same on my Oasis and made sure that indexing was complete before disabling airplane mode to get the X-ray file. I again waited for the XRAY menu option to no longer be grayed out. X-ray failed to work the same as with the Voyage.
Can anyone confirm whether X-ray works on "War and Peace", ASIN B00JCDK5ME ?
