This works for firmware 3.5.3 and Kindle PW, right?

Here's an updated Calibre plugin.
* Better user interface * Supports the "location offset" feature of the .NET version * Support of aliases. Run the plugin once to create an .aliases file, edit it as appropriate, then run it again. * Hopefully works for Mobi8 files, although I haven't tested this. Feedback welcome. |

Thank you for the updated plugin. Can you please explain which is the directory to unpack the book in?

Actually I should probably just update it to create a temporary directory. Next version maybe. |

Rats. You'll need to specify a filename for the aliases even if you're not planning to use it. Sorry about that, will fix it next time out.

I've got it working, here are my thoughts:
I use Calibre to email all my books via Amazon Personal Docs, so I can make use of Last Page Read Sync between Paperwhite, iPad and iPhone. This means that after I send them, the ASIN changes. To get it working what I do I send the book as normal, then on my PW/iPhone/iPad, I have the book, with last page read syncing working fine. I then plug in my PW via USB, and use Mobi Meta Editor to check the ASIN that Calibre assigned it when I emailed it. I then drag the .azw from the PW documents folder into Calibre, and use your plugin to generate the XRay .asc file. I then put this in the .sdr folder, and XRay works fine on the PW, and Last Page Read Sync still works across my 3 devices. I can't help thinking there must be an easier way! Also, I noticed the following thing when looking at the XRay file, specifically when I choose "Wikipedia Info": Note the weird: ad> loc.2> Also, wouldn't it be possible to the Shelfari and/or Wikipedia lookup automatically, based on the book title/ISBN/etc in Calibre? |

Sounds possible. I don't know if Wikipedia would necessarily work, you might hit a disambiguation page, but it's probably worth a try. |
