Since there has been talk here of scanning pbooks that 1) have already been published, but 2) are not available as ebooks, I have been wondering who owns what rights. Is it the author or publisher? For instance, if I were to scan in a book published in paper format by publisher XYZ that was written by author ABC, could I legally scan the pbook, send the scanned version of the book to the author, and that author then legally sell the ebook?
Enquiring (sic) minds want to know!
