I think that, unless the process becomes much more automatic, faster, and more dependable, few customers will be willing to pay the amount vendors would ask to do the work.
You are right on the $6 book. But there are many books, eg tech reference books that costs $60~$100 or even more and could do with such a service ... but yes, its still a niche market ...
