I may be wrong, but I believe that the scanning of an entire book falls outside the "Fair Use" precedent and is actually illegal. It's just too hard to catch if that's all you do. IT's when you upload & share that you get caught. Also your personal use usually stays below the radar & probably won't get noticed.
