Hey, I have this book in paper and would like to scan its pages to share on something like z-library for others to access.

So I wanted to ask what is the best way to go about scanning all the pages of the book? Something like those images to pdf scanners on your phone or something else?

Also where should I upload it to? Is Z-library okay? And is it safe to upload it? Could it be traceable back to me and potentially getting me in trouble?

Thanks in advance

What about traceability? Could they figure out somehow who was behind it?

That I cannot answer. The way Anna's Archive works, I believe, is that the files are stored somewhere else. They do care about privacy though, and even accounts are made without email with a random string as your username. Might want to look into it some more.
