You "know" someone or have a friend that has an ebook version of current best seller that isn’t offered electronically, for arguments sake we say that they bought the book / scanned / formatted etc all for their use ONLY.
Would you buy a physical copy, and exchange it for a copy of the ebook version, as long as the physical copy was destroyed?

So:
1) Electronic copy was made destroying physical copy.
2) You buy physical copy to be traded for ebook version
3) The physical book is destroyed to prevent “extra” copys / in exchange for the ebook verison.
I wouldn't have a problem doing that with a paperback. I don't care for them. Other than reference books and similar, once I read a paperback, I get rid of it. I have novels that I've read in paperback, then later bought a hard cover to put on my shelf.
