Ive given many of my books to the library as I replaced them on my ereader but I also have many of my favorites in paperback as well. I guess thatd make the answer no.

However, one will eventually stumble upon the same problem I had. Too many books, not enough space. Thats why I started giving some away to begin with.

In reaction to this controlled market, there are probably 5 or 10 businesses that will accept your paper-book by mail and cut and scan it for around a dollar. I have used one such service on a 'test' book and was impressed with the result.
I cant say that Im not jealous. I wish they had some of these over here in the Americas or, at the very least, the publishers would hire them and scan some books. Im sick and tired of all these others I have just because they arent available as ebooks. At this point theyre just taking up space.
