You don't need to store Amazon book cover images in Koha database. There is option in Global System Preferences under Enhanced Content where you can enable showing book cover images from Amazon or from other providers. Marijana
Hi! You can try with URL that we use for html export of recently acquired books. All you have to get from database is ISBN. Take a look here: https://github.com/alenkovich/Koha-recently-acquired-books/blob/master/koha-... Cheers, alen 2011/11/22 Richa Srivastava <richa.srivastava36@gmail.com>:

In other words, the ISBN is the only part that Koha "knows." The rest of the path to the cover image is hard-coded in the template: <img border="0" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/[% normalized_isbn %].01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg" alt="Cover Image" /> [% normalized_isbn %] is the placeholder in the template where Koha puts the ISBN it retrieves from the database.
