The 21st century model should be, you buy content at a certain a level of quality, and then are entitled to it in all media forms.

For one thing, being able to prove you own a copy is difficult often, especially when it isn't a brick and mortar. Even if you had some place to go, the same book could be used as "proof" among 15 people. All Amazon has to go on is sales records, which who is to say you still own the book? If you sold it, why should you get another copy, as if you still owned it?
And as said before, why should you be entitled to another form, that may be more expensive to produce (note that you said ALL media forms)?
