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.
Of course we do have a right to demand! The publishers have a right to disregard our demands. The crux of the argument is whether you want to demand or not. If enough folks demand it, it may happen, and if more publishers provide digital upgrade, they will win. So if you demand it, you'll speed up progress and will be on the side of the universal Good! Don't you want to be on the winning side and speed up progress?
