If there are books that you need to read for your thesis, or for your culture, you should be able to do so without facing absurd commercial barriers.
The lack of an eBook does not prevent you from reading it. Buy a paper version or go to the library. How would you have read it before the invention of eBooks?

You seem to be implying that you have some "right" to an eBook. Sorry, but that's not true. The copyright holder has an absolute right to control distribution in any way that they wish. That's what the word "copyright" means - the right to control the way in which the book is copied.
