This twigged another memory... 

(Note I'm not including lots of URLs here because Bugzilla always blocks me
when I do.)

If you look at the Amazon entry for "Berry Pickers" by Amanda Peters, obviously
Amazon do have a cover image for it.

But they're not using an ISBN to retrieve it. They use a different URL format
with the key "91Yab+VyPgL._SY342_"

And if you look at the "Product Advertising API" documentation, you can see
that the API returns something like this:

So https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Yab+VyPgL._SY342_.jpg will be our book
cover.

Note that 91Yab+VyPgL._SY342_ isn't the identifier for the book. It's an image
ID. 

The ASIN looks like it's B0BTSC3TN6. 

It looks like you might be able to use an ISBN to lookup
"paapi5/documentation/use-cases/search-with-external-identifiers.html"

However... I don't know whether they even support ISBN-13 for this lookup. 

Plus you need to be an Amazon Associate to use this API.

So ultimately... Amazon cover images are going to be a problem whether or not
we improve support for ISBN-13 979 prefixes througout Koha.
