Because, ideally, we have two to three versions.

Thumb for the index pages. Medium for the book pages, and perhaps a
Large for those who want to see the cover to some degree of detail.

We could always cache and Magick them, but then we'd be storing =)

There's another kettle of fish. Some places don't even like links to
images from pages that aren't on their servers.

Anyone feel like writing to some publishers and asking what they like?
I think there's some legal thing that lets you play with the covers
(since it's in a review/organisational context rather than trying to
sell some competing product). But, IANAL.
