I don't pay "again and again" either. The vast majority of my ebook purchases are consumed only once (I don't buy/read non-fiction or reference books in electronic format). So very rare would be the need for me to re-buy
I had no qualms about buying new copies of physical books I loved and wore out (or lost), so I fail to see why I should be upset about needing to re-buy the rare ebook I loved enough to want to re-read some day and found I had "lost."
The loss of my entire ebook library wouldn't really trip me up at all. They've all been read already, and there's only a handful I would ever consider re-reading. I won't mind re-buying one of those when the time comes (if I have to). Or I'll grab it from the library.
