The problem is the destroying of the original paper book. If you keep both, your self made copy and the original paper book it is fairly obvious it is okay. Morally and quite possibly legally under fair use or similiar. But what happens legally when you destroy the paper book? The ownership of said physical copy is the "license" that allows usage. If ownership changes you are supposed to get rid of your copies. Ownership does change by destroying.
