This is a trick to get the picture without the banners such as



"Click to Look Inside ", "Audible ", "Kindle Edition " and etc.

[1] First need to do is when you open an AMAZON page for a book, right click on the picture and choose "Copy picture URL".



[2]  Paste that URL in the browser address bar /click on picture for bigger view/

Click for better view

[3]To remove the banners look at the string of text following the last slash or the image URL (/).

The first bold section is the actual image name and the second bold section is the file extension.
Delete everything between these two (leaving you with 51J2L9MqKwL.jpg)


[4] The result will be a bigger picture without ANY banners.

NB! In some cases the string will be shorter. For instance audio editions have only one banner, so there will be less to delete but the rule is THE SAME.








A few Examples:



[A] Fixing an image for KINDLE edition /two banners/

String: /41iJKIcj7yL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA278_PIkin4,BottomRight,-48,22_AA300_SH20_OU02_.jpg

Edited URL: /41iJKIcj7yL.jpg



[B] Fixing an image for PAPERBACK edition - /one banner/

String:   /413sf-JCMYL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_SX385_SY500_CR,0,0,385,500_SH20_OU02_.jpg

Edited URL:    /413sf-JCMYL.jpg



[C] Fixing an image for AUDIO edition - /one banner/

String: /51Tygb1ISyL._SL500_AA300_PIaudible,BottomRight,13,73_AA300_.jpg

Edited URL:  /51Tygb1ISyL.jpg
