What's with the Amazon image link?

Why do you have an amazon image link that appears at the top of each book page?

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/057506403X.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

This doesn't seem to serve much purpose visually and I have noticed that some links take you to a blank page. I also noticed the Book Data template page says:

The "photo=" attribute should now be deprecated – use "cover=" instead.

Does this have something to do with the issue I read about copyright concerns? If yes, then using the non-free fair use guidelines (as used on wikipedia) can be applicable using low-res images and applying the correct license.

Additionally, I have a template suggestion I would like to run through with admin that I believe will improve the book infoboxes. --   CelticWanderer      talk        contribs        edits     23:17, 8 June 2013 (GMT)
