Salam and Hi to all,
Dear Shahab,
Instead of using amazon, you can point your book cover
image to image mapped to local directory. This can be
done by modifying the code a little bit. You can view
the sample here. (But on contrary, I disable the
amazon features. You still can copy book cover from
amazon and put in local directory manually).
