As we move towards eReaders, many of us still have traditional books. Some are out of print. There is a way to digitize them yourself. Two things come to mind: It may be a more efficient use of your time to pay for the digital version and digitizing and making a book available that is still under copyright to others is stealing income from the author and publisher. Digitizing for personal use from one format to another is much like ripping old vinyl records you own to MP3 format. Also, if you do digitize, keep in mind charities are often selling the printed books to raise funds and some artists are using them for wonderful art projects. Please do not just discard them in the trash. Please recycle responsibly.
