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.

With the first copy I have paid for content and hardware.
From the second on, I'd like to pay just the hardware, without having to re-pay for the same content I paid before.
So, IMHO, it'd be fair to separate content form container in the pricing. And once a user pays for the access to the content, he should not pay it again when changing (or doubling the container).
If I own a Gerry Potter p-book, I paid Ms. Rolling for it. If I want an audio-copy also, I'm happy to pay the speaker, the director and the sound engineer, not the author again, who's already got what she deserves.
