Yes...scanning. I have quite a few pbooks that I am in the process of scanning via a homemade scanner (
link). One reason I made my own scanner was because it was fun...the other was because I was under the impression that format shifting for others wasn't allowed - only yourself - thought I had read that somewhere??
If we are allowed to have scanning services format shift our books...then great! I was just wondering how the copyright rules followed a book that had been shifted. I didn't purchase a "license" that restricts me from letting my kids read the book...I purchased a book that allows me to lend it and donate it if I desire.
It just seemed like the OP was talking about their bookshelf - not their own backlist, of which they own the rights. I thought it was related to the thread and was relevant... sorry if I was wrong
