I asked my
son that question and he said that it’s possible that the eBook updates on
Kindle devices and the reader will have the updated version, however I searched
for the answer and found this:
An eBook updates on KDP
when an author uploads a new manuscript, but these changes generally
only apply to new purchases. Existing customers who already bought the book
keep their original, unedited version, as KDP does not automatically push
updates to previously purchased Kindle devices.
Anyone
purchasing the book after the update goes live (usually within 24-48 hours)
receives the latest version. Customers who already own the book do not get the
update automatically.
Users
can sometimes see "UPDATE AVAILABLE" on their "Manage Your
Kindle" page if it is a major update, but this is not guaranteed for minor
typos.
Technically, if a reader purchased the un-edited version and reviews the book as saying it had typos, another reader won't see the typos because they will have the updated version.
It's
unfortunate, but some authors, me included, occasionally spot typos and other
errors in their eBook manuscripts that require immediate updates, no matter how
minor. For instance, on my recent uploads, I discovered
a couple of typos that prompted me to revise the file and re-upload it to KDP.
I want to extend my apologies to those who downloaded the book before these
corrections were made. My heart sinks when I come across errors, no matter how
minor they may be. Nevertheless, it happens and all I can do is fix it. Indie authors understand what I mean.
