Hi Jonathan:

I know that Amazon images return headers... so... I thought if I could 
decipher the link pattern to their "search inside" images (you know, 
those little arrow deals), that would be the ticket-- and I did.  
However, it also returned the "search inside" image even when there was 
no contents for the reader.  Apparently Amazon generates those images 
on-the-fly with the code in the image url.

I guess its back to screen-scraping...
