Legal? Likely not, as you're turning one copy into two copies.
Would anyone pursue you? Likely not. No one is going to get a warrant to search your devices to see if you've photocopied your books before giving them away; unless you're sharing the digital files publically.
Do not share the digital files publically, as that is definetly not legal.
