It's never been buy once use everywhere. I can't play a book on a record player or put a CD into a tape machine. I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to use the same file on different devices but you need to recognise that your demand is the new method of distribution here that needs to make its case (and I think will do in the long run).

The current situation in digital distribution is more akin to only being able to play your record on a Phillips record player from 1976-1979 or your CD in a Sony CD player from 1990-1994. Or to read your book by the Patented Blacklight Color Lightbulb from 3M.
