Is it about having it, owning it, or actually reading it? Because regardless of what you can own, you can read only so much.

I cannot imagine how one can loose a track of what one is reading. If you read more than one book at time and you loose track of them, then you are incapable of reading many books at the same time. I know, I cannot. So, I don't.
I am sure I would forget all the good books I am planning to read, so I have created a TBR list. It started with a simple handwritten notes in my Read books notebook I have from age of 6, then it was copied to Word on my PC then to Goodreads.

I believe it all boils down to whether you are an organised type of person or not. If you aren't, then you would be in trouble with printed books in huge book shops too.
