I read the paper versions of Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House in the Big Woods" series to my first two daughters. We really enjoyed them together and have lots of great memories together over the years. With my third daughter, I have the ebook versions of "Little House" as well (all but one are available--apparently the last is still under copywrite). I found it's even better reading both versions at the same time, she reading the paper version and I reading the e version to each other.
When we finish, I'm looking forward to (re)reading the Harry Potter series together using the same setup, me on e version and she on paper. I'd hoped Rowling would produce ebook versions of HP before we finished reading "Little House", but there are no signs ebooks are forthcoming, so I'm resigned to that. That's what led to my original question about an e backup of a paper book. I have hard and paper back versions of HP. My oldest was around when they were hot off the press and only available in hardback. My middle got paperback. I've never done a scan/conversion before, so it would be a learning experience.
Anyway, thanks for all your opinions. I appreciate getting more perspective.
