Hi, sorry to start here with a question, but I have downloaded the newest version of Calibre (0.8.3), and when I look at the metadata for books in mobi format, I don't see an ASIN I can change. I know it was mentioned earlier that Calibre might be using the UUID of the book to populate the ASIN. I assume that this means it is random, and not the actual ASIN of the book, or does it look that up, and simply not expose it?

If it is random, I assume you want to use mobi2mobi to edit the metadata to the right ASIN in the calibre library so that the book cover is accurate, if you don't manually edit that, right?

Or am I completely clueless?

Thanks!
