As another test I took a book that showed as a comic and made a copy of it with a different (unused) ASIN. The copy did not show as a comic even though the book contents were identical to the original book, other than the ASIN.
You are right. Sync is editing p_type column in cc.Entries internal database: Entry:Item -> Entry:Item:Comic

Well played Amazon. Forcing remote query to check information that is available in file header.
