Well, as an aspiring Fantasy writer I fully intend to release my first book in "beta" and refine it over a number of months :) In my experience of writing occasional short stories online, Sci-Fi/Fantasy readers love updates. I mean; quite often as a fantasy reader myself I think "hmm, I wonder how that character got there" or "what is her backstory". The ability for the writer to insert those things, fix plot/canon errors (as well as spelling/grammar) and other things pointed out by the reader is really cool (Don't get me wrong; whilst I enjoy those prospects I'm not suggesting traditional publishing and "hardware" books (:P) will die - I hope not!)
