What do you do with physical books that you wish were on your e-reader?

A lot of e-reader discussion is about devices, but I’m curious about the source material problem.

If you own physical books that don’t have good ebook versions, have you ever tried digitizing them yourself?

If not, what stops you?

For me, the biggest blocker seems like the manual page-by-page capture: holding the book open, taking photos/scans, turning pages, checking order, fixing shadows, repeating it for an entire book.

Is that the main reason most people don’t digitize their own books, or is the real issue later: OCR quality, PDF/EPUB formatting, file management, or just not wanting scanned books on an e-reader?
