er- excuse me- the book has been hacked as per instructions given in this thread, so that it now contains a ASIN -a unique per--book-serial number - issued only by Amazon, who have records of every copy sold
so ergo it is either a counterfeit of an amazon book or a pirated copy. That's why Kovid rightly will have nothing to do with auto-insertion of ASINs. I am pretty sure that a lawyer would tag such an action as " making a counterfeit"

ASIN stands for Amazon Standard Identification Number. Almost every product on our site has its own ASIN, a unique code we use to identify it.
amazon provide syncing, social media functions only for books containing their ASINs i.e. only for books bought from themselves. The ASIN is used as proof-of-purchase
but hey, just in case I'm wrong - lets ask the poster to declare how the kindle book came into his possession. The forum has rules about assisting piracy, which I have seem you strictly enforce in other threads, I am surprised you are letting this how-to hack discussion continue.
It's is stealing + flaunting that attracts the sort of attention that can close down a site, & wanting to post from Kindle to facebook is wanting to flaunt that you have the book on your Kindle
