For me, and only me, no I would not take it from a neighbor nor would I share my copy with a neighbor or family. I would not pay for a service to do it, that would be similar to paying for the book from a pirated site. If you are going to convert, you need to do so on your own. Scan it on your own, just like you rip the CD on your own. Granted it is easier to rip a CD then it is to scan a book but that has to do with the medium in question.
Yes I strip DRM and would happily convert books. When they charge me $2 to use the liscene I will change my stance. When they charge me the same amount as the hardcopy of the paperback I am not buying a liscense, I am buying the book. In my mind, that means I own that book and can do with it what I want. If I want to remove the DRM in order to convert the book so I can change e-readers then more power to me. I see that as the same as ripping a CD for the MP3s.
I do not share my DRM free versions. If someone wants to borrow a book and I can legally loan it, I will happily do so. I do not hand out the DRM free versions.
