Best Answer

For personal use (taking notes, reading while traveling, etc) yes you can make copies. If you are planning to distribute those copies to people who do not own the original book you would have to be able to justify the distribution as "fair use" or you could be guilty of copyright infringement.

The four primary factors you need to consider to qualify a "fair use" are...

the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
