Two Kindlebooks downloaded (at the same time) and liberated by two different people will never be identical. There's no need to test that. Without extra processing, the metadata sections will differ. Period. And a lot of the "extra processing" that's available out there (for kindlebooks) tends to do its work in a brutish manner that strongly suggests a lack of knowledge (by the authors) RE the subtleties of the binary format they're attempting to pointlessly diddle.
