You might say this would instantly make all books available to everyone without needing to copy a single one, and you would be right. But what does this mean for the future of copyright and artistic creation?

It's a very nice "Ideal world" idea, I suspect that in practice you will get in legal hot water, but like I said I'm not an expert on these subjects so I really don't know the legality of that.
Why don't you try it out as an idea to implement? I think you should do your homework first before putting your ebooks online though and I think there will be complications.
I'm pretty sure the big publishers will be after you if you did, but I will be pleasantly surprised if they don't.
