Then why does Amazon want them? Why train an AI on worthless books?

Individually you might be right. Some cookbook from 20 years ago probably is worthless to most people. But then there'll be one person who spends an afternoon hunting it down, bookstore to bookstore, because their aunt used to have a copy and they want to check a recipe, or some such.

This is cultural violence on a massive scale.
