  Hi, my blog is mostly (95%) about book reviews and I’m having trouble finding a legal way of adding book covers as simply taking a picture of the book and pasting it to my posts are not really covered in the fair use umbrella (surprised? I was too). I’m in the process of taking out the covers I do have, which really changes how the page looks…it’s pretty sad actually. One solution that has been recommended to me is that if I affiliate with amazon I can add picture links of the covers to my posts. However, I’m pretty this is not allowed with a free account here. Any ideas of how to go about this? If I add the links to every post as a picture of the cover, will the moderators close up my site?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
