However, you can have it automatically add an ASIN, by changing the following kindlegen.ini setting:

add_asin = True

The plugin will then look for a metadata entry with the following format in the metadata section of the .opf file:

<dc:identifier opf:scheme="MOBI-ASIN">XXXXXX</dc:identifier>

or

<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 reassamble AZW3 books.

Can I enter the above identifier entry via the Sigil Metadata editor? How would I need to do so?
