the problem was that i had messed up big time with ASIN. updated calibre and things went like breeze. successfully generated an XRAY but when i put the xray inside the SDR folder, the xray button inside the book is greyed out.
i use calibre to transfer my books to kindle. so the location of sdr folder is AUTHOR>SERIES>BOOK.sdr one more thing, the name of book is like Feast for crows, A. but the xray is created in a folder A feast for crows using the xray tool. can this be a reason for disconnect? what am i missing?

The title does not need to match, but the filenames do. I believe the program already outputs the right filename though.

Not sure what happened with the Ernest one, as it seems to be an error that only exists in the new code that I don't have yet. |

my search was for "the casual vacancy" wich i beleive was published under her name, and not an alias.. but i might be wrong and maybe that's causing the problem

Unless you mean it failed searching Shelfari for it or something. |

weird, running the search for Rowling under a Harry Potter book also won't work for me (metadata downloaded from amazon)

Note the difference in results between: http://www.amazon.com/s/?url=search-...owling,%20j.k. and http://www.amazon.com/s/?url=search-...j.k.%20rowling. The way darrenmcg has it set up, it has to match exactly. That'll need to be tweaked to work properly in more cases, though I don't think the author field in the book metadata itself is supposed to be in that format. I'll work on it when I get a chance, unless he gets to it first. I just got back from vacation so I'm trying to catch up on all my projects. Last edited by Ephemerality; 07-05-2015 at 11:06 PM. |

Give this one a try (only exe included). It should work for your multi-author and last name, first name cases. Only the first author in the list is used. Last edited by Ephemerality; 07-08-2015 at 12:55 PM. |

Make sure the X-Ray file gets put into the proper .sdr folder (even if the tool puts it in the wrong one). If you're on firmware 5.6+, it may not load anyway. Still not sure why.
