1DollarScan eBook Publishing

Calvin Reed notes that "Despite Copyright Concerns, 1DollarScan Grows, Marks Second Year."   1DollarScan creates a PDF of a submitted book, and then destroys the original paper copy. Such services seem to be popular in Japan, where it makes fiscal sense to archive old books into electronic versions. According to the comments of a reader, the quality of the 1DollarScan PDF does not match that originating from an e-book publisher.
