It appears you have confused copyright (what you are allowed to do with the text) with ownership.
99% of my physical books are used. I am in the US so under the fair use law, I would be able to make or have that company that does it make digital copies for me. I couldn't sell the digital copies and if I got rid of the physical copy, legally I would have to get rid of the digital copy.

Ah, that was what I was getting at in my OP, and what I've been doing. So it seems it's OK in the US but allowed for a year or so then banned again in the UK. The mist is clearing......
