Any ever use a book scanning service like 1dollarscan.com?
I've got a bunch of books I found in my garage that I want to convert to eBooks.

1dollarscan.com seems to be the cheapest service to use.

I was wondering if anyone had used any of these services and what they thought of them.

For the curious, they scan your book and turn it into an OCRed PDF file. The process does destroy the original book, since they cut the binding off.

The books I found are old rulebooks for Dungeons and Dragons and various other games. At $1.00 per 100 pages, it's cheaper to have these books scanned than re-buy them as legal PDFs.
