The problem is that libprs500 uses an ISBN number, which it gets from isbndb.com. Amazon doesn't map all the various ISBN numbers to a cover image. LibraryThing does the mapping for me, which is why the code uses it. If you know how that mapping is done, I'll be happy to get rid of the LibraryThing layer.
