I checked with Jim Fruchterman. Scans from e-books are not legally allowed
at this time, but Jim is working on a policy to expand that legality. So we
are likely to see that change within the coming year. Of course, we will let
you know and it to the Volunteer manual if/when it does.
Thank you for being so diligent.
