    You know Amazon have pictures of people using the products on their site. Is it OK to download those pictures and to use them to help sell Amazon products?

    Why not? you can also use the product info as well IMO.
    but you should contact them to confirm in advance.

    Amazon is generally good about letting people use their pictures for interesting projects, it should be remembered that they make access available in order to ultimately sell more stuff.

    Amazon steal the product images the same as everyone else steals them.

    If you post anything on the internet, expect it to be stolen. :)

    they provide the urls to the images through AWS for all associates that use it so I would assume that they don't mind
