We're acting like there aren't already Asimov eBooks available. In the U.S. at least, all of his major books have been released. The missing Asimov books are typically ones that are long OOP even in the paper world. Isaac Asimov on Kindle

Not that those shouldn't be scanned. But be realistic in your discussions.
