Is there another way? I downloaded the Metadata Editor, opened the files in question, entered the correct ASIN, saved the file - on one try, overwriting the current file and on another try, saving to the new file name and deleting the old file and when I opened up the "corrected" file, the same bad ASIN number was back! If I made an error, please let me know!

Is there another program to edit the mobi file? I've tried everything I can find in Calibre (and the suggestions previously posted) and I can't seem to fix this problem.
