Ok, the merge seem to happen in
Code:
calibre.ebooks.oeb.transforms.metadata.MergeMetadata
right? But I see only code which adds the uuid identifier to oeb.metadata, all other identifiers are ignored. Is there a reason that not all metadata is added to the result, as "merge" would suggest?

I've also noticed that the original epub which was added to calibre and then converted to mobi already contains an uuid entry in the opf file, but calibre ignores it and creates a new one which is used in the asin entry of the mobi file and stored in the metadata.opf file.

Is this a bug or creates calibre the new uuid on purpose?

Ciao,
