Same here.

I can't imagine taking the time to scan, OCR, proof and edit a pbook into an ebook.

BUT, if I decided to do that, I would have no problem doing os for a book I physically owned. But I would not share. I am a believer that I own the content for my use, in whatever form best suits me.

But I can't justify the time to do so, even if I wanted to take the book apart to auto feed into the scanner.

Oh, there are books that are much better in pbook form. Anything with a lot of photos or tables. And many reference type books where you are best served by flipping through pages to get close and then fine tune which page you want.
