Extremely interested in this idea - I've gotten to the point of pricing out FedEx-Kinko's to cut the bindings off ($1/ book actually) and then scanning them dual-sided into Evernote with searchable text (if you're a Pro member it scans inside PDFs).

Still can get past the cognitive dissonance of letting my bookshelf go.

Or you could sell the books and use the proceeds to buy an e-book PDF of the same book. :)
I have done that a lot. I have also used scanning services such as bookscan.us or 1dollarscan.com to convert older books to PDF.
