Fake ASIN allow self-made e-books to use HQ cover system.

Combo MOBI with no modifications -> Ugly Personal tag. Low quality build-in cover image.

EXTH 501 set to EBOK. -> No Personal tag. Low quality build-in cover image.

EXTH 501 set to EBOK. EXTH 113 and 504 - Fake ASIN. -> No Personal tag. No cover at all unless ASIN is real one. In that case HQ cover is downloaded from Amazon cloud.
But when we upload this file with Calibre a HQ cover will be sideloaded to Kindle cache.
HQ cover can be also uploaded manually: /system/thumbnails/thumbnail_{uuid}_{cdetype}_portrait.jpg

Format of fake ASIN is not important. @DiapDealer - previously mentioned format is used by Calibre. And it is output of python function: uuid.uuid4()
