This patch (or rather, how it would look taking the recent enhanced
content refactoring) is too broad.  The test in catalogue/detail.pl
and opac/opac-detail.pl should be on AmazonEnabled/OpacAmazonEnabled.
The call to get_amazon_details() retrieves images, reviews, and item
attributes as well as similar items, so if you want avoid retrieving
similar item information when you don't want it, get_amazon_details()
should be the target of a patch.

Galen
