Depends where you live. I understand that it's legal to do so in the US, but it's not in the UK. Of course, if it's strictly for personal use, nobody's going to give a damn whether you do it or not but - technically - in the UK it's not legal to scan even books that you're bought. You're restricted to copying one chapter of a book, or one article from a magazine.
