Yes, I use the service and the results have been very nice, even at 300 dpi. My reason for having these books OCR'd is because I can no longer read them; the letters are too close together. OCR'ing them did not fix this problem. An online friend with Abbyy Finereader converted those files for me to epub. Proofreading is necessary, but fun since I wanted to read the books anyway.

I'm very happy with the service. I'm currently paying the monthly amount which includes 10 sets (typically 3-4 books) for OCR scanned books shipped directly from Ebay or Amazon (normally, there is an extra charge for shipping books this way). Once I have those few out-of-prints mailed to them, I will ship the rest of my out-of-print books from home and be done.

Please note that the pdf files are very readable. I could read most of the books perfectly fine on my Nook HD+ (but none on my ereaders). I still couldn't read those ones where the typeset was too close together. Could you get an epub version from that company? Yes, but it costs $30 PER book. Cheaper to just buy Abbyy Finereader. Calibre will not convert them. You will not get your book back unless you arrange in advance (I think that is also $30 per book).

My neighbor is enjoying the service to get pdf files of some of her 1960s recipe books sold as Church fundraisers. She can either cook directly from the pdf or print the pages she needs.

In my opinion, such a service will likely be very restricted in a couple of years unless they get protected by Fair Use act. After all, you OWN the book. You should be able to duplicate it for your own use.
