Goodreads, asw3, ASIN, integration help

hi, ive spent days reading this forum and thinking I have found the answer but no luck so here I am hoping someone can help me.

I have about 2000 books loaded onto my Kindle in ASW3 format. the metadata and covers are all downloaded.

I have been trying to get my kindle to interact with Goodreads so I can mark a book as currently reading from my kindle and for it to update onto my Goodreads account.

it works for some of my books but not all and I can't see what the problem is.

in calibre under identifiers in the metadata I have various ids isbn, Goodreads, Amazon, mobi-asin. but not all of these for each book.

my Goodreads account does not have every book selected as a kindle version BUT I have used the Goodreads plugin and linked my calibre book to a book within Goodreads.

my thinking was that if calibre showed the Goodreads, amazon and asin identifiers, when sent to kindle it would work but has not been the case.

I have tried removing the book from the kindle, using the embed metadata option and copying it back, this didn't work

I have also tried the polish option which treats and duplicate file called original asw3 which will not open.

its almost like when I delete the file some part is remaining and not being over written when I add it back in.

please help!!!
