Question about x-ray...
So I'm writing a fantasy novel with lots of names. I want to be able to highlight names while reading in the kindle and have a quote (first mention of the character or location) pop up as a definition. I have the X-ray plugin but cannot get the thing to work - I assume because my book isn't on Goodreads. I'm not comfortable with adding my book to Goodreads just yet, but I feel like there should be an easier way to link names of characters and places to a glossary at the back of the novel after the ToC in calibre or something like that. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just use a normal footnote link. You can use search and replace to insert it for all occurences of a name.

A footnote link is just a normal link that links to your footnote page. If you are creating EPUBs you can add extra markup to idicate it should open up a popup. Kindles dont have that facility, instead amazon uses some heuristics to decide which links to open as popups. Ask in the kindle forum for more details.
