I intend to work with the API which will do exactly the same, but for speed I've done it the way mentioned. I'm looking through the Ts & Cs to make sure I'm not in breach, but if anyone knows for sure then I'd appreciate it. My main worries are that the photos and content are property of the users selling the goods and therefore shouldn't be used unless directly using the API.
Shouldn't be a problem at all. You always have an option that says "get a link" on the Amazon site and that includes photo and description. As far as the link is on your site it's OK. I use API so it copies content + photos from Amazon.
