I read a lot of indies so sometimes Amazon is the only place to get a cover, or at least one that's the right size. Plus, I like choice. I'm not a stickler for the exact cover for the exact edition - sometimes I just pick the edition with the cover I like best. It's kind of odd, because I'm so picky about everything else, but my covers just have to be attractive, they don't have to be edition-correct.

I'll keep an eye out for your plugin, definitely. And I just remembered where I learned that Amazon trick - the Goodreads Librarian discussion forum.
