I'm aware of the syncing, in fact it's the feature I'm interesed in (together with the proper cover image).

But the ASIN value is rather unique, Amazon even has different ASINs for different editions (kindle, paperback, hardcover etc.) of the same book.

So I don't understand how someone should end up with different MOBI files which have the same ASIN value?
