The question may be the reverse: Is it any less illegal to make multiple copies of reference books? If they are still under copyright, you are in clear violation--certainly in the case of photocoping books (Columbia University lost a multi-million dollar lawsuit doing this). There may not have been quite as much litigation with digital formats, but I wouldn't want to be the test case! Kol tuv Elisheva
