Search/Replace ID?
I understand the reasons for not automatically changing the mobi-asin to amazon, but is it possible to do a search ("mobi-asin") and replace ("amazon") as the ID of selected books, without changing the actual number?

I must do this before I download metadata for selected books or it mostly returns the wrong book. Yes I just tested it on ver 1.1.0 selecting the first 20 books and the very first one was wrong. Since I began manually replacing the ID (mobi-asin) with ("amazon") it never once had an error.

I see where I can search and replace several field entries but not ID identifiers themselves. If this is not possible please just say so. I love Calibre and am in it every day as reading is my "retirement job". When asked what I do, I tell people I'm a "bookkeeper".
