Exactly. There is no need to do a scan/convert/proof/assemble on a book that already exists as an ebook. Way better to just go ahead and purchase it (or download a good copy if it is PD) than to spend a lot of time trying to do it yourself.
I have been doing this for a lot of older paperbacks that have never made it to an electronic format. Mainly, because I lost a really good collection of paper books some time back and wished I had spent a little time at least making the initial scan and clean. Some of those are still lost and I have found neither paper nor ebook versions to replace them.
