As I said previously: the
standard ebook metadata (author, title, subject, etc) in the OPF doesn't get altered or ignored. So I assume you're talking about proprietary (non-standard) Amazon metadata. Which there's no real
point in trying to duplicate (with the exception of Doitsu's advice to make sure there's an Amazon ASIN present so side-loaded stuff will continue to sync). You can't really "trick" them (other than the syncing) into thinking it's the original unaltered book anyway (especially since the DRM has likely been removed). So there's no real point in trying.
The editor Doitsu mentioned should allow you to put the ASIN back, but there's just no reason to put all those other proprietary Kindle token EXTH entries back. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
