Update on Kindle Updates

I posted about the discrepancy between Amazon's "Click to Look Inside!" preview and the actual purchased copy downloaded. That was here:

Amazon has rectified this, at least with my books, but I stress to all BCTS authors with works at the Kindle Store, if at all possible check that the preview and download match--if you've done any revising at all, at any point. In my case it was a massive re-formatting, adding active links, double-checking grammar, etc.

Amazon, "in their infinite wisdom", is still determining whether or not to email all purchasers of my books (that had that preview/purchase mismatch) and "push" the revised copies out, or to be passive and IF the purchaser chooses to update, and IF the purchaser has some psychic knowledge that my and other authors' books might not be what we fully intended, THEN they can activate the downloaded update on their own.

(sound of author's teeth gnashing)
