Paper Book to E-Book

I've been able to find most of my paper books in electronic format. However, there is one series of books that eludes me...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786881887
http://www.amazon.com/Book-TiAna-Myst/dp/0786889209/
http://www.amazon.com/Book-DNi-Myst/dp/078688942X/

I have all 3 books in first edition hardcover. I'd like to get them on my iLiad, but I don't want to destroy my current books. I haven't found any site online that sells them electronically. I have just a plain (old slow crappy hp) flatbed scanner, so scanning isn't an option unless there is an easy way to do so. Also, being 400+ pages would make it a bit of a pain.

I do see that amazon has alread scanned them for their "Amazon Online Reader" part of the site. Is there a way that I could get that into a downloadable format? I'm sure I could use the whole screengrab approach, but I can't view the entire book at this point. If I purchased it (again) through amazon, would I be able to see the entire book? Am I just SOL on finding an easy (and probably legal) way of getting this on my ereader?
