[Koha] how I can include cover images of books into koha?

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi Shahab,

The amazonratings folder contains a script for acquiring amazon 
images, but as I've never used it I can't comment on whether
it work. 

In the next version of Koha (2.4), there is an Amazon.com module that
automatically inserts Amazon images (if you turn it on). The images
are pulled directly from Amazon.com as a user browses the OPAC.

Cheers,
