I tried manually changing the ASIN number of a book that wasn't working to the correct asin number of the ebook format.

Nothing changed.

I then manually changed the isbn number to the one corresponding to the ebook format (took it from the kindle store book description) and then it worked. The correct cover apeared and clickiing on "book description" sends me to the book description in the kindle store.

Unfortunely not all ebooks have the isbn number in their description in the kindle store so I can't fix my other books.

For example, this book http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Science-eb...7674303&sr=1-1 has in the description the isbn an asin number so it works in my kindle when i manually change them:

Any help would be apreciated, I hope I'm explaining mtself well...
