[slinkelist] Cover Art

[Ken Geoffrion]

I've looked at it and decided not to persue it.  Most of the covers I've 
looked at are GIFs instead of JPGs, about 1.5 times bigger, and smaller in 
dimensions.  They do look nice, though.

Has anyone tried to write a program that grabs cover art from amazon.com
yet?
The resolution is much better even if their naming convention is really
obtuse.
