Is it legal to sell an electronic back-up of a book?
There are companies who will sell you a vinyl LP along with a CD copy of it, as well as making copies of vinyl that you send them. This can be useful for obtaining deleted albums.

As this appears to be legal, would it be legal for a bookshop to sell physical books with an electronic digital copy? Would new and second-hand be any different?
