Provided that you don't make any further copies of it, I entirely agree. The issue would arise if you were to copy the book once it was once again protected by copyright. That would very likely be a copyright violation. If it's just sitting there on your disk, not being copied, there's no problem. Unfortunately, the issue is that there's very little that you can do with a computer file that doesn't involve copying it.
