How to save HQ book cover images on Amazon

Question

Amazon.com shows the book covers in high quality but I couldn't manage to save those images in my computer. Is there a way to save those images in high resolution?

Answer 1

Finally I found it here: Abusing Amazon images.

Answer 2

1. Install FireBug Lite (a bookmarklet).
2. Open up the cover of the page you want to view in Amazon.
3. Press the bookmarklet.
4. Press Inspect (top left of the bookmarklet)
5. Press on the image.
6. Underneath the highlighted line, you will see an img with a source attribute that starts with //sitb-images.amazon.com/
7. Navigate to the http:// version of this url (e.g. http://sitb-images.amazon.com/...).

Answer 3

Here are steps to get an image at least 500px tall or wide.

1. Right click on the image and choose "Copy image URL" (or your browser's equivalent).
2. Open a new tab and past the URL into the address bar.
3. Now delete all characters in between the first . of the file name and the jpg at the end.

For example, this is the starting image url.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41W0QwAkn2L._BO2,304,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,60,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg

This is the larger version of the image.

I grab the images out of Temporary Internet Files, the caveman way.

Answer 5

Click on the link for a larger image, then right-click on the cover and then pick "View Image" (for Firefox). Then right-click the image and then save it.
