This isn't that surprising. Kindle has a feature called "Automatic Book Update" and when a publisher releases a new version it will update your book automatically...
Usually the changes are pretty minor, fixed typos, maybe a movie cover or a new introduction. You can turn it off although I don't think you can roll back versions?
- pharrington 4y agoIf the UX for the updates is to ask for confirmation for each update, along with a decent summary changelog, that's fine. Am I wrong in assuming the UX is not this, but something much more automatic?
- goosedragons 4y agoIt's automatic. Some titles it doesn't seem to work for and you have to update manually but for those that do there's no changelog or confirmation and the update happens when you sync.
- kelnos 4y agoRight, it's automatic. There's no confirmation, and no changelog. I have it enabled, but stuff like this makes me consider disabling it. I'd be fine if there was a way to limit the updates to typo and grammar fixes, and reject content changes, but of course Amazon isn't going to implement a feature like that without something like a government telling it to do so. (I do back up my ebooks right after purchasing, though, so at least I have "originals".)
