In general buying books and scanning them for this type of use would *also* be copyright infringement.

  No. Thats fair use. Format shifting is fair use as affirmed by RIAA v. Diamond Multimedia which was about ripping CDs to MP3s.

    …for personal use, just as timeshifting was with MPAA v. Sony. Neither were about commercial use/exploitation.

      Meta case just affirmed that training an LLM is fair use under transformative use. Alsom, Google's indexing(transformative use) of scanned books is settled law with Authors Guild v. Google.

        And Roe v. Wade was settled law too, until it wasn’t.
