It's a database. I couldn't resist And I'll take that as confirmation that I was reasonably correct.

One thing I will mention about the key terms is that the first occurrence of that term might not be the one that is underlined (if the device / app supports that functionality), I believe there is something server side, when the BTB data is generated that determines what will appear as a key term.
Well, I don't see anything in the data that would make it select other than the first occurrence and I haven't seen an example that wasn't the first. But, that's only four or five books and their keywords.

Well, it looks like I am wrong (and not afraid to admit it ). I had thought that the server sent us the position of the term to highlight, but it seems that is not the case. We will get sent the key terms and it's the app (iOS) that decides which one of the terms in a chapter to highlight, and it would appear it's always the first one in the chapter we'll highlight.

And its always good to be proved right Though it did occur to me after my post that maybe there was something in the data from the server that the firmware was not using and hence not storing.

I just saw this post points to http://www.xunwang.me/xray/ that can generate the Kindle X-ray data. An approach like that, might make BtB for sideloaded books practical.
