I am not cutting up ANY books.

Just the ones that are mass publicated, that are NOT in ebook form, and that don't look like they will be soon.

If I purchase the book on amazon, then cut the spine, and scan it in....it is still cheaper then getting it at a discount at Barnes and Noble.

If I really want to keep the book, I can have it re-bound in a spiral binding by kinko's again for about $4-5
