Hi,

Here (https://github.com/Exeu/Amazon-ECS-PHP-Library) is a php class example that uses amazon ECS api.

Otherwise, another interesting example is Vufind.org (an open source discovery tool/layer).  
It allows to retrieve covers from multiple sources in same time (library thing, Google Books, amazon, Open Library).
You can see code here : https://github.com/moravianlibrary/VuFind/blob/112521ab4dec4e3a946e7c611ea9068bb20b627d/web/bookcover.php

These examples should be transposed in perl to Koha ?
