Confirmed. Cover images don't go through the API, so changes to the
API don't affect them.
HOWEVER: I question whether Koha libraries are within Amazon's terms
of service in using Amazon cover images. I think this is a legal grey
area, where Koha's use may be technically a violation of those terms
but a violation which Amazon has never responded to.
