Permissible Copying of Physical Book
When is it permissible to make a copy of a physical book that you own?

This brings up a number of scenarios:
  • The copy being a physical photocopy
  • The copy being an OCRed scan/conversion you do yourself
  • The copy being an OCRed scan/conversion someone else does for you.
A corollary of the above is: is it OK to acquire a 'free' epub (or mobi, etc) of a physical book you own?

For the context of the discussion, let's assume that you are not sharing the copy with anyone, it's for your personal use only.
