The right to read it: yes.
The right to have a version handed to you, formatted for your reading preferences: no.
That's the crux of the argument here. When you buy a book, do you have the right to read it on a screen instead of paper? Sure. You even, in the US, have the right to copy it in order to do so.
But you don't have the right to demand anyone else produce that version, nor if they have, demand they hand the results of their work over to you.
