Data Editors looking for book-cover images, back-cover blurbs, or the copyright page, may have used Amazon's "Search Inside" Book Reader to view the required page/s of info.
The difficulty has been saving those images - especially the book covers.
New Scripts
This first script sidesteps the block that Amazon put on your browsers context-menu by allowing you to open the image in (and save from) the same or new tab, or new window.

This second script came about because the "Search Inside" option seemed too cumbersome when all you wanted was the cover-image. And after what seemed like hundreds of visits to the Amazon Book Reader to find that the cover image displayed WAS NOT the same as the thumbnail image, but belonged to some other edition!!!
So I decided there had to be a better way....
This puts a "Show Cover Image" button below the thumbnail. Click the button to change the thumbnail to the full-size cover. It doesn't matter what type of link, "Search Inside" or some other.
You may then use your browsers right-click menu to save the image.
DISCLAIMER: The cover image size is typically the same as that seen via Amazons "see larger image" link - around 290x475. A cover image saved via Amazon Reader's "Search Inside" link can be around 400x650.
