Where can I get a database with pictures of books' covers? For
example, when you search by ISBN number on Amazon.com, a picture of
the book comes up, e.g.
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0515140872.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg.

Where can I get a database of these pictures with each picture having
an ISBN number assigned to it?

Please note, I am aware that I can query Amazon's database via a web
service but that's not what I am looking for. I want my own database
with the pictures of the covers that I can upload to my web site,
ideally for free.

I will consider an option of paying for the service that explicitly
allows querying their database to get a picture by supplying certain
parameters. Amazon does this but you are supposed to use it for
selling their items.

No, that's not quite what I am looking for. I contacted their support
department, they are saying:

Book Collector is software that queries other online infor sources. We
don't manage our own online data for Books. I suggest going directly
to sites like Amazon and look into their Web Services.
