Maybe not if they were allowed to save and reuse the files for other customers bringing in the same book... and possibly even exchange files with other shops in an affiliation group. I know this would be rather similar to what many of us do already on the darknet. The point is, the booksellers might be motivated to actually check for physical ownership of the book first, and require a trade-in before supplying the conversion.
I'd want to run it past a lawyer before trying it, but it might actually be legal in many countries. The shop would need to be careful about documenting physical books received. I think I'd want to keep the actual covers of each book converted, filed as evidence.
