I really never understood the need to scan pbooks. I would just read the book! What's so bad about picking up a pbook and reading it? I mean, you had to pick the pbook to scan it, anyway.
As far as the publishers wanting your files, if the book was published in the last 10 years, they almost certainly have electronic source files laying around somewhere. The book was not typeset on a Gutenberg-style moveable type press, after all.
