So ... either way you look at it, reproducing a book without permission is illegal ... the ethics you have to figure out yourself.

Sigh, be careful about believing what the publishers tell you. This question was answered in the 1980s with VCRs. Format shifting is considered legitimate fair use provided it is for personal use. It is essentially the same as copying a record to Cassette so that you can use it in your car, or ripping a CD into mp3 files. As long no profit is made, and the result is not given to other people, no crime is committed.
