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.
As long as the digital copy has no DRM- absolutely. Every book in my collection. (I'm in the process of donating all of my physical books to the local library anyway)
