I think it really depends on what you read. I find that E-Books are generally cheaper, but not always. There are other advantages too. My wife and I have too many books on our shelves and I like the idea of cutting down on the clutter that an ebook affords (no dust or musty smells).
My suggestion for you is to look at books you might buys and compare their prices. The biggest plus for me has been the books on this forum (classics, out of copyright). I've finally been reading classics that I never got to but have always been on my reading list. My reader has probably paid for itself.
As for the idea of scanning. I do think you are probably better off grabbing a copy of the book online than going through the hassle of scanning. You will likely find that scanning one book is more effort than its worth.
