I was thinking DRM-ed ebook; so either removing DRM or acquiring a pre-DRM-stripped (as you say "bootleg") version.
But you raise an interesting point about scanning a physical book. If you end up with a digital copy either way, how important is the method?
And apologies if this is considered a distraction from the issue(s), perhaps it should have been a new post. I'm happy to remove my posts if necessary.
Just to clarify, I 100% support purchasing books to support authors and encourage all to do likewise. I happily spend lots on books both for myself and as gifts. Just not a fan of DRM.
