My understanding (which may of course be wrong) is that it's a genuinely destructive scan: they cut the spine off and then run the pages through a sheet feeder.

Naturally if you scan it yourself you may keep the pbook (which you are entitled to) or destroy it as you wish.

I'm really not at all sure you're right about that. If you create a copy, it has to fall under the terms of "Fair Use", and "I want an ebook" doesn't count. You said yourself earlier in the thread that you're not allowed to photocopy your books. How is scanning them any different?
