Google Offers $9 for $18 at Better World Books (March 10 and 11???)

sufue · 03-10-2012, 09:39 AM

I know Better World Books is DTB, and not e-books, but I recently have bought several books from them to have scanned by 1dollarscan or bookscanUS. So, I thought I'd post this here in case others are doing the same. It says it expires in 1 day and 14 hours (now 6:30 am US Pacific time, March 10), but also says limited availability, so it might go away sooner if some limit is reached.

It's one per household, and also not good with other discounts or on their Bargain Bin books.

The link is horrendous, but it came straight out of the e-mail they sent me, so hopefully it doesn't have any affiliate tags. I DO NOT have any affiliate relationship with Google, and am not trying to get affiliate dollars for myself or anyone else, so hopefully moderator, if this does have a tag, you can help out and fix it rather than just leaving that nasty message...

I didn't know this service was available - do they provide formats other than PDF?

Oops, maybe I wasn't clear.

I have bought the DTB from Better World Books, had them sent to me, and then turned around and sent them myself to either 1dollarscan or bookscanUS. Both 1dollarscan and bookscanUS provide book scanning services with different types of services, and different pricing structures. There is at least one thread on here talking about this:

Better World is just the source for some inexpensive DTB that I don't mind having destroyed to get .pdf scans for my e-readers. Apologies for the confusion.

There was no confusion; I wanted to know if 1dollarscan and bookscanUS provided the files in formats other than PDF. The thread you linked to may answer that question so I'll check it out; thanks much
