Why books make me buy the same book over and over again to see on various devices?

I bought a book online and read on my iPad... I would also like to be able to read this book on my iPhone because it is easier at times... but books made me buy the same book again for now, double the cost for the same book I own, under the same account, just on a different device. This is how it works? What I must again and again get you the book even if I want to read on my different devices?
