So I am confused as to what you would try to do by adding another "Fix" feature to this plugin - what else is it going to set the EBOK value to?

In other words - if I push a new version of the plugin that corrects the bug allowing you to identify MOBI files that have no EBOK header set, is there any reason why you would not just then use the existing "Fix ASIN" feature to then change the books?
There is an ongoing issue with Kindles and Amazon removing books. It seems that if the ebook CDEType is set to EBOK, the ASIN belongs to an existing Amazon ebook and your Kindle has not synced with Amazon for quite a while, Amazon's end decides that the book should not be on your Kindle and deletes it. One suggested fix is to set the ebook CDEType to PDOC.
