It's not quite as simple as using a mirror. The problem is metadata plugins require a way to search for title/author/isbn/etc. So in addition to a mirror you'd need to implement search as well.

So directly using something like archive.org is not possible. What one can do is probably use google's sitesearch for archive.org. Though IIRC gogole does not like bots using their search either, so you'd likely run into the same problems as with amazon, eventually.
