Thanks, that worked perfectly. Really appreciate it!

One more question re: updating KFX files already on the device...

I'm working to better integrate my device library with Goodreads. But I think the issues is that none of the files in my Calibre library, and thus none of the files on the device, have an ASIN in the ID section of the metadata.

1. If I click to Edit Metadata, add Amazon:XXXXXXXXXX in the IDs section... Would I then do the Embed Metadata trick from earlier to get that ASIN into the file? And then resend to the device? I assumed that would be the case, but I tried all of that, and I'm still getting the Goodreads error on the device... So I'm not sure if the ASIN made it into the library file and then into the device file... Or maybe there's something else entirely? (I saw a workaround with AZW3 files but I'm working with KFX.)

2. Also, any idea if there is an easier way to attach ASINs to books in my library? I considered downloading metadata, but I don't want to erase any existing covers, things like that. Is there a more selective approach - to only download/match/update ASINs, I guess..?
