Welcome.
Figuring it out is daunting. Actually producing ebooks from pbooks is not difficult, just monotonous and finicky work with almost nothing to show for it if you can't share it. Spending an hour or two converting a book that only takes a few hours to read seems... wasteful.

I've done it; I always feel horribly self-indulgent about it. Chopping a book to scan it and not share it feels like a displaced version of book-burning. I'm not only spending hours of effort on something that only benefits me, I'm destroying an object that could've been shared.
