This is off-topic, but it pains me to see that they shred and recycle the books rather than donating them to schools/libraries.

That would be a copyright violation. The only way to avoid the charge is to destroy the original, so that they can claim no real copy has been made, just a transfer of format.
Ah, that makes sense.
They do shred+recycle, but they can not donate. Its all about copyright laws! :(
