Hello, my calibre seems to no longer download the ASIN in the IDS, which I need to get the Kindle Hi-Res Covers plugin to work properly.

It does download the "amazon:" IDS info but that doesn't seem to be the same as the ASIN, and the plugin only works with the ASIN.

I have gone to the page for certain books on amazon and gotten the ASIN from the browser address, and plugged it in manually, and that works. Most of the time it seems this does not match the "amazon:".

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this to get Calibre to download it automatically again so I don't have to do that? Thanks.
