Describe the feature/enhancement

So I noticed that when books have their covers changed by the publisher (retaining ASIN, and likely the same audio) that audiobookshelf (and assumedly audnexus, if that's what's being used to scrape data) is returning the old cover.

Would it be possible to implement a secondary check using the &update=1 flag to also look for updated covers? Perhaps with a setting where you set a preference for original or updated cover when scraping.

One example of this are the Legend of Drizzt novels.

It looks like most of the data is the same, but there is also an ISBN field on that particular book which is fun, so this method may result in some additional metadata not present before.
