This plugin is not designed to be used with ePubs generated by KindleImport.
However, you can have it automatically add an ASIN, by changing the following kindlegen.ini setting:
The plugin will then look for a metadata entry with the following format in the metadata section of the .opf file:
Code:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="MOBI-ASIN">XXXXXX</dc:identifier>
or
Code:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="AMAZON">XXXXXX</dc:identifier>
If it doesn't find one of these entries it'll generate a fake ASIN.
BTW, KindleUnpack will write the original ASIN as a comment to the re-generated .ePub. This commented-out ASIN will NOT be found by the plugin. You'll need to manually add it to the metadata section.
If this setting is enabled, it'll also generate a cover thumbnail for the .azw3 book that you'll need to copy to the /system/thumbnails/ folder.
BTW, if you just want to touch up some Kindle books, Calibre Editor is much better suited for this task, because it'll automatically unpack and reassemble AZW3 books.
