Amazon is going to make its book collection available to readers, it probably realizes it has to. In which case if it updated the metadata in all the books it sold, there would be no need to "call home" for the metadata. Unfortunately, instead of doing everybody a service and making the metadata available publicly, they locked it down on their servers where the terms of service mean that 3rd parties can get access to the metadata only if they use it to directly promote sales at Amazon.com
