I am still looking for Death and life of superman, I own the hardback and paperback, but I can not read them on my edge pocket... since I own the physical book, would it be illegal to download a ebook format?

I know with video games (like Nintendo and whatnot) if you own the physical copy of the game you can own a digital copy as a backup. The same is true for movies, if you own a beta-max, VHS, laser disk, or DVD you can legally own a digital copy of the movie.

I feel that the same should be true for books! If the physical copy gets destroyed you should be able to keep the cover as proof of purchase...
The same is true for books. You're free to scan your physical copy to create an ebook for your own personal use. Just like you're free to make your own backup copy of your movies and video games.

Downloading an illegal copy (whether it's games, ebooks, or movies) is not the same thing as making your own backups.
