I just sent a book off to 1dollarscan to be converted to electronic format. I found myself signing up for all sorts of extras, including the high quality scan (600 dpi black and white) and the high quality touch up. This raised my total to something like $21. It's an old book, with yellowed pages, and I don't begrudge the money for the scanning, but now I'm wondering whether I'm paying for features that I don't really need. for example, is the 600 dpi scanning really worth while, since there are no graphics in the book?

What have been other people's experiences with 1dollarscan? next book, can I get away with just the basic services? I don't mind paying for quality, but if I don't need some of the services, I'd rather not pay for them.
