Er, no.
eBooks replace books. eBook readers let you
view those replacements.
While it might be technically possible, I can't imagine trying to scan, OCR, and convert a paper book entirely on a hand-held device. If I'm going to do that, I'll use proper tools, if for no other reason than it will be faster and do a better job.
I have a multi-tool, which includes jackknife, serrated knife, saw, file, Phillips head screwdriver, several slotted screwdrivers, scissors, and pliers. It
can do many things. It actually
does them only in a pinch when I don't have the proper full sized tools available, and it takes a lot longer and the task isn't as well done because I'm
not really using the proper tools.
The same applies to trying to
create ebooks on a reader.
