I've attached a slightly modified version that might fix this issue.

Yep, it does. Thanks

I know that. I was wondering how the ASIN was in the AZW file, so I unpacked it and found it in the OPF.
Can I put an ASIN in the epub OPF to set my own (fake or maybe real) ASIN?

Can you advise what these numbers mean? The size? But the thumbnails aren't square. The blank slots (for books with no thumb) are 1"x1.5" on my screen. Maybe this was written for PW1 & 2, with 220ppi. I have a PW3, 300 ppi, so that's 300x450 pixels.
I tried enlarging the thumb to 600x800 (externally) and loading it in the thumbnail folder. It just displayed at 1" =300 px wide. So it seems it reduces to fit, but not expands.

I do design ebooks, for some years, but just got an actual Kindle last week after using an emulator until now.
Anyway, I hate the way Calibre copies and renames all my books. Makes it a real pain to use if I'm editing them in Sigil to make adjustments. Much prefer to do it all in Sigil.
