Interesting article in the Duluth News Tribune out of Duluth, Minnesota. So, depending on who you ask... scanners are either organized, founding homes for used books or scanners are heartless, non-book lovers. I can see how useful this would be for both the book buyer looking to fill their book shelves (or their online stores), or like the article mentions, those "Not everyone using a scanner did so with turning a profit in mind. A couple of people downloaded the titles from their CD collections into their scanners to ensure they didn’t end up with duplicates."
I guess to each their own. You can't make everyone happy and your always going to piss someone off. To those that get so pissed off easily, there are more important things to worry about. Let the scanners fill their shelves, find another home for this book and that book.... it's a win-win for the library hosting the book sale and isn't that what is most important!!
