This is like saying "I have the audio book so I should get the print version for free" or vice versa. You have the right to get what you paid for. If you paid for a copy that had bound pages, you are entitled to get THAT copy. If you want an electronic copy, you have the right to pay for one if it's available. If you really want one, do as has been suggested and scan a copy for your personal use. I have done this myself, it's not a difficult process.

darylbrayman's quote is spot on. Owning one media format does not entitle you to another.
