To me, one of the main questions is -- if you're doing it to books you've paid for and it's only for personal use, then how would anyone actually know that you're doing it and why would they care. Whether or not it's technically legal/illegal may not matter. I honestly don't think you're ever going to see anybody brought to trial over it. Doing so would be kind of pointless.
