In point, most epubs that I've looked at lately have tended to use this format for the book identifier though there may be many other dc:identifiers present:

<dc:identifier id="uid">urn:uuid:444a7d08-5362-4faf-976e-3b80c80d66fe</dc:identifier>
I use the ISBN to look up the book metadata as I don't host any files on Koblime. I was under the impression that the UUID/GUID was randomly generated by Kobo each time the book is side-loaded. I'll double-check that it's indeed coming from the book metadata. I wonder what the kobo does if there is no uid in the metadata. Will run some experiments.

Thanks!
