I am consulting the IA/OL both for covers, and to determine full text 
hits. This shows up in my link resolver and in my catalog item detail 
pages, when a full text match can be found in IA for the item in 
consideration.

However, I'm not actually using the OL API to find full text, I'm using 
the atom results of the IA 'advanced search', because I wrote it before 
the OL API works, it works, and it finds more full text from IA than is 
actually included in OL.

Hmm, and I guess I'm not actually using covers at present. I am using 
the LibraryThing CoverThing API for covers, which I think is many of the 
same covers as IA/OL, but I'm not sure the relationship between them.
