As a follow-up, I've resolved the issue.

My go-to fix when I have a book that won't sync correctly is the following:

1: Grab the MOBI file from the Calibre Library, copy it to desktop
2: Remove the book from the Calibre collection (with Calibre)
3: Re-import the book into Calibre
4: Re-convert to MOBI (this gives the book a new UUID number and therefore a new ASIN number)
5: Take the new MOBI file, move it to assorted devices.
6: Confirm syncing.

This fixed my latest issue.

I'm not sure why some UUID ASIN's fail to sync and others work...but I can't argue with results.

I'd still like to be able to edit the ASIN directly from within Calibre...but that's another story.

Enjoy!
