      The report for "Releases with catalog numbers that look like ASINs" generates lots of false positives.

      Whereas the ASIN detection in the release editor using a slightly different regexp leads to false negatives compared to the report. 

      Most of the genuine catalog numbers falsely detected as ASINs start with B followed by 9 digits while non-ISBN ASINs usually contain more than one character.
      Also, both regexps assume B is always followed by a zero which is not true
