This discussion assumes that AWS is still usable by libraries. My understanding of the latest terms of AWS is that your application must have as its primary purpose the sale of material from Amazon. That's one of the reasons other Amazon API features were removed from Koha.
I agree. This is a question for a lawyer. If your assertion is true, Amazon book cover should be wiped out from Koha. With a decreasing number of match, Amazon book covers, as they are currently implemented, are more and more irrelevant.
Currently implemented we are within the terms of use, and for some collections Amazon provides ok coverage. It's a syspref, people have to turn them on, ripping it out when people are using them sounds like a bad idea to me.
Isn't Open Library the solution?
It's a solution, yes, and people can turn that on, or syndetics, or ltfl, or google or local covers, etc. The enhancement I want to see is allowing a mix of sources. It's on bugzilla but I can't remember the number. Chris
