Yes to both. Several times. I have bought used books from Amazon to chop off the bindings, scan & OCR them, and format them for my ebook reader.
I can read paper reference works, like instruction manuals or dictionaries, but I can't tolerate paper for entertainment reading anymore.

P.S.: For the nostalgic guys of printed books, who want to tie me " to the bed with only a big staple of paper books" and with a fan, j think that it will soon be marketed a perfume with a fragrance of printed paper, that they will spray on the ebook reader from time to time, to remember the old lost times. Perhaps it will be more successful of many parfumes now on the market.
