DTB is actually a pBook.

Now, that said, just because there is no legal eBook available does not mean there is an eBook out there and if there is, it doesn't mean it's in good enough shape to actually read. Sure if there is an eBook and it's in terrible condition, you could A/B compare it to the pBook and fix it up. But in a lot of cases, it is easier to just read the pBook you've already bought or taken from the library.

Scanning a pBook you get from the library is going to cause damage and that's not good. So don't do it.

When you buy a pBook that does not have a legal eBook copy, buy the pBook thinking that's what you will be reading or don't buy it at all. Don't buy the pBook thinking you cab just hop on the net and get an eBook copy. It's not always that easy and a lot of time, if it is, there is a chance the copy is crud. So just buy (or borrow from the library) pBooks with the intent to read them and just do so.
