Most reporting says they are being destroyed. Page flipping is slow compared to cutting the spine and scanning the pages.

They destroy regular books. This was an intentional order from a rare book dealer. There is no reason to believe they use the same destructive process for books they should know to have inherent value and aren't purchasing in significant volume.
I don’t think we read the same article. None of these books were identified and they said rare can be low print volume or foreign language.
