It seems that Amazon provides some services to find ASIN from any ISBN but it's not clear for me how to use it. Has anyone already try them ?
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/EX_LookupbyISBN.htm... Currently, Amazon books cover are retrieved simplistically, with a HTML <img> tags which src attribute is build based on sanitized biblio record ISBN. It doesn't work always, as you said. A better approach would be to do as for GoogleBooks covers: after HTML page loading, sending asynchronously requests to Amazon Web Service (AWS) in order to get ASIN from ISBN, then book covers, and then complete HTML DOM with appropriate <img> tags.
