That's correct. For example, if a user imports an Kindle book with the
KindleImport plugin, it'll generate the following metadata entry for books that already have an ASIN:
Code:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="AMAZON">B00XXXXXXX</dc:identifier>
If the KindleGen plugin can't find the above metadata entry it'll also look for the following metadata entry:
Code:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="MOBI-ASIN">B00XXXXXXX</dc:identifier>
As
eschwartz has already mentioned, if none of these entries exist, the plugin will use
KevinH's dualmetafix_mmap.py file to add a random 12 character ASIN to the MOBI/AZW3 files.
BTW, on eInk Kindles, AZW3 files with an ASIN number will be displayed without a cover thumbnail. That's why the plugin can also optionally generate a cover thumbnail file.
