In my opinion (not legal opinion :-) ), I think there 
wouldn't be a problem with a third party as long as they 
scan your books and didn't keep a copy afterwards.  That is, 
they also give you back the original one.  The problem is 
that it's hard to say how honest a store can be.

On the other hand, my guess is that the reputable stores may 
not want to scan the books for you because they think that 
they are helping you commit a copyright violation.

Neither side trusts the other...  :-)
