Come up with whatever the search expression is that is required and I will think about it. In the meantime, I would suggest you just do a saved search with that expression in it - it is just as many clicks to choose that from the saved searches dropdown as it would be to incorporate into this.
It would if you didn't have over a 100 saved searches. But something simple like asin:false

For instance why not a check for not having a Goodreads id? Or a Fantastic Fiction id etc. Becomes hard to know where to draw the line once you start doing that, because in all instances there are valid reasons (such as short stories) where your books will not have an ASIN or whatever.

@GeckoFriend - thanks, gald you like
That is a lot to think on and realistically it might be best to leave as a saved search. Personally I believe this would be useful if you purchase a significant amount of books from Amazon, which I do, though I will say I also like have asin numbers for books which Amazon also sells. Also, in my library for books which I know do not have an asin, I have added a fake one just so that it will not appear as missing.
