What if they have it on e book. So I buy a regular book, but lose it, should they be required to give me a digital copy as a replacement (that way they don't have to take a book off the shelf)?

what exactly about free market COMPETITION do you not understand,
if a service provider wants to give you a digital copy for free that their choice
the copyright holder should not be able to prevent that service provider from fullfill that fair use distribution of the content.
Nothing i said requires the store to give you another copy for free, just to allow someone else to do so if they want to and can find an alternative revenue stream (like advertising).
