X-Ray feature
Hi,
Is there any way of finding out which books have the x-ray feature on the KT without having to open every book and check it. i currently use calibre to manage all my books. alan |

Normally if you tap and hold a Book item on the home screen, you can view the Book Description (if you have a wireless connection), and it will show whether X-Ray is enabled for that book. But you have to also download wirelessly from Amazon to get the X-ray file from them. |

Thanks for that, my workflow at the moment is that i send my amazon books to my kindle via wispernet then add them straight to calibre untill i am ready to read them. i will look into calibres -ray feature.

hey nowadays amazon has added an option below book info every kindle book on their site about whether xray is enabled or not.you can se that option by going to that kindle ebook on their site and scroll down or go to the ebookstore on your kindle.and calibre plugin xray gen does a pretty good job of creating xray and is very similar to amazon xray.only differences are that it does not show location meter and takes info from shelfari and desc from wiki.

Thanks for that techiemonkey, looks like amazon uk doesnt tell you if the x-ray funtion is on a book just yet, but hopefully they will put it on soon.
