Sure. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew were changed well before eBooks were a thing.

As to the legality of this eh, the book is out of print, and I had reached out to the publisher more than once to try and prod them into releasing an ebook to no avail (they answered but it was boilerplate “we will consider this” with no release made to date AFAIK). His copy was destroyed after he converted it, and he deleted the ebook after I got it and we had a chat about the differences.

You're worrying a little too much.
I have a cheesy trilogy (A Vision of Beasts by Jack Lovejoy) that hasn't been released in e-format and likely never will be. I sent them to a friend to digitize and never got the originals back. I don't know if he destroyed the paperbacks or not. But he's unlikely to read them himself (he has better taste). Having a friend that works in publishing can be a perk.
BTW: I looked up Mark Fabi. He had a second book called Red Mercury. Did you ever read that one?
