KFX has only one ASIN metadata field. When producing KFX output the plugin checks for a "mobi-asin", "amazon", or "asin" identifier in that order. Whichever is found first becomes the ASIN of the KFX book. When importing back into calibre the ASIN metadata field from KFX format becomes the mobi-asin identifier. This is the same behavior as when importing other Kindle formats.

Got it - that's exactly what I was seeing. It's good to know that's the expected behavior.

Yea, the first post in your plugin thread is what made me realize that some of the metadata fields weren't supported. I wasn't sure if that was a permanent limit of the KFX container/format, or just a temporary state of where the plugin stands today (i.e. is it possible those fields could be supported in the future, with plugin updates?)
