Oh yeah, I forget: there is also this legal issue. We obtain the
images from amazon.com, you see. And the great thing about is, this is
legally OK both for us and for our users, because we strictly follow
their licensing terms. Which do not allow saving the data permanently,
only caching.

Cover images are copyrighted material (and the RIAA has an eye on it),
so it's legally gray to simply collect them from a random source on
the web.
