Here's a little quirk.

I started with a valid ePub2. When I ran the KindleGen plug-in, it picked up the ASIN just fine from:

Code:

<dc:identifier opf:scheme="MOBI-ASIN">B123456789</dc:identifier>

Then I ran the ePub2 through the ePub3-itizer plug-in and got a valid ePub3. The identifier was converted to:

Code:

<dc:identifier>urn:mobi-asin:B123456789</dc:identifier>

When I ran the KindleGen plug-in, it failed to pick up the ASIN.

Changing "urn-mobi-asin" to "urn-MOBI-ASIN" fixed the problem.

Can the KindleGen plug-in be revised to recognize lower case "urn-mobi-asin" — or should I post in the ePub3-itizer thread and request that it convert the identifier to upper case instead of lower case?

Many thanks!
