No one is destroying rare books to scan them for AI. They are scanning books that are cheap and available at bulk rates: books sold by weight on pallets.
I am a book dealer. I have run an online book business, I currently own a small bookstore.
I have personally sent entire shipping containers of books to be recycled. There is just that much printed materiel that no one wants.
But you've sent exactly zero containers to Amazon. So you don't know what was purchased.
