There is no right in the UK to format-shift copyright works. You may not (legally) convert copyright CDs to play on your computer or phone or music player or tape deck. You may not (legally) scan physical copyright books to make electronic copies.
This sounds bizarre - it would be illegal to send my friend a meatloaf recipe from a copyrighted cookbook via phone or email, or to record myself reading a children's book to my child?
