I'm calling Bulls**t on this.
I scan documents and books all the time on my hp printer. The software makes it easy to do and if its 10 page document I can make a nice pdf file out of in in about 30 min's. Then sell it at 10 bucks a copy? No.. maybe a buck or two at most.. If its something that i have legal right to resell, as most of the stuff I scan is for legal purposes and is not resellable. The point is, its not that difficult to do and 10 bucks for a PDF file of any kind is a rip off.
I bet those sites don't sell to many of them. I noticed that several of the sites selling them are all owned by the same company. Buyer beware.
