The attack occurs in the middle between sender and receiver. It doesn’t matter when the attack occurs, that is the position in the message chain that the government targets.

They can’t even turn a profit with the useful petabytes of videos they have on YouTube. I can rest assured that every CEO is trying to get the next round of stock buy backs going.
The government totally would harvest petabytes of encrypted data, but they’re not revealing their spy program because you want to see muscle orgys. At least until a more religious government is formed.

In practicality though, if you’re already going the OCR route then just utility knife cut the pages from a real book and feed them into a feeder scanner. All they get to know is that some asshole cyberpunk script kiddie jacked your book while you were waiting at a bus stop.

The good news is that it should be far easier than other mediums.
If you are approaching from a complete safety perspective (cause you live in a fiefdom that owes tribute to the publishers guild), then you’re going to want to OCR the pages of the book and use the text to make a brand new book free from metadata. I’m pretty sure a python crash course could get you up and running in a month or 6.
If you want what’s closest to the original product, then you’ll need a python script that strips everything from the book into just a text document, then re-convert back into your own book. You’ll have to review the text document to see if any random code was included in the book like invisible text.
Both options are so simple from a programming perspective that I’ve never seen scripts to strip e-book protections. A real (the solution is left un-worked as a challenge for the reader). And from what I know, the publishers have switched to focusing on selling hard copies as their bread and butter, and striking deals with libraries for other revenue. Big money is still in mandatory university textbooks.
