I have been using all four, and they seem to be working out. None of
them are TOO too slow. But I haven't fully investigated or tracked for
'non-consistent performance', not sure what you mean there, just that
sometimes it's slow? All of those seem to work fairly well for me.
There is another source of free _movie_ cover images, but I forget what
it is and haven't investigated it yet. Also there are several sources
for free musical album cover images, which likewise I haven't
investigated yet but would like to.

Hello all,
We are reevaluating our source of cover images. At this point I have
identified four possible sources of free images:
1. Amazon
2. Google Books
3. LibraryThing
4. OpenLibrary
I know that their is some question if the Amazon and Google books images
will allow this (although I've also yet to hear Amazon or Google telling
libraries that use their Web services for this to cease and desist).
However, besides that issue, has anyone noticed any technical problems
with any of these four? I'm especially concerned about slow and/or
non-consistent performance.
