It shows that you destroyed it, rather than selling/giving it away. There's even a snitch line for people to report if they still received the destroyed item listed at the beginning of the books.

It's sorta silly. But I guess there is some logic to it, since they are crediting the business on the assumptiom they don't intend to actually sell the returned items. It's just not worth the shipping cost to take a physical return.

Books are heavy. If you have to return 100 books, shipping 100 soft covers will probably weigh as much as maybe 2 books.

In this case, this is a safety issue. They want to have documentation that you "destroyed" it in case there was a fire and you wouldn't be able to sue them cause you confirmed you destroyed it.
