As long as you can guarantee that all the books in your collection are not under copyright. If any of them are copyrighted, well, hoist the Jolly Roger and damn the cannons time. Using scihub as an example is not going to help since scihub is mostly referred to as a pirate website which seems to regard copyright, author's rights, etc. as a legal fiction.

At MobileRead, even seeming to be promoting piracy is a good way to get yourself banned. MobileRead poobahs prefer to avoid having lawyers casting their eyes in their direction.
