           Summary: Remove usage of Amazon API
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: oleonard at myacpl.org
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: master
         Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing
           Product: Koha

Koha hasn't been updated to use the new Amazon API and no one appears to want
to do so. Anyone choosing to undertake the task would appear to do so at their
own risk, given the Amazon.com Product Advertising API License Agreement
(https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/agreement.html)
says that Amazon must approve each system's request for API access and:

"Unsuitable applications include those that: ... do not have as their principal
purpose advertising and marketing the Amazon Site and driving sales of products
and services on the Amazon Site."

Instead of continuing to ship new versions of Koha with broken Amazon
integration I think we should remove the functionality which depends on the
API.
