I reported similar behavior (and possible solutions) re EA and EA Pro in Feb 2015 ( http://support.boostwp.com/support/tickets/19817 ) …at the time, Chris said that it was not dev priority – hopefully this has changed. With the LetsEncrypt.org project out of beta and cPanel working on an official integration for v58 (due in a couple months) the web is about to get alot more https sites… just in time too as some major browsers are signaling that they’ll start indicating to users that non-https URLs are less/in-secure. Since trust plays a large role in on-site conversion this is should be an urgent issue. Cheers =)
I just opened a ticket with them yesterday, got the same answer…
quite disappointing since they obviously know about it, and it literally causes errors on all your SSL pages.
odd since the fix is so simple – all they have to do is replace the straight http call with the SSL-compatible https one. and it’ll work on all sites, whether it’s http and https.
@mac4media have you found a workaround since?
It’s a good plugin, but going from an solid SSL site to a site full of SSL mixed-content errors because of a poor image embed (which is so easy to fix) is not a good thing.
OK, found the problem in the code and fixed it. here’s the solution – thankfully very simple, as expected.
odd they’ve known about this for a year and taken time to reply to various tickets on it, yet it only took someone with zero familiarity with the EasyAzon code 45 mins to locate the problem and fix it.

replace this line:
‘src’ => $item[‘images’][$image_index][‘url’],
with these lines:
//
// fix for SSL mixed-content error – always use Amazon SSL image URLs
//’src’ => $item[‘images’][$image_index][‘url’],
‘src’ => str_replace(“http://ecx.images-amazon.com/”,”https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/”, $item[‘images’][$image_index][‘url’] ),
//
