You could catalog them in OpenLibrary (http://openlibrary.org/), upload
the cover images there, and use the OpenLibrary added content plugin
instead of Amazon
(http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/trunk/Open-ILS/src/perlmods/OpenILS/WWW/AddedContent/OpenLibrary.pm) - which didn't make it into 1.6.0.0, unfortunately, but should work as-is if you pull it directly from trunk.
