However, I have a feeling this is some kind of a fraud, because
  1. This email is a pure text mail, although all past emails I have received from Amazon.com were HTML mails,
  2. It is strange to ask an email reply with "YES" as a content to get a service; I believe it is far more easier for both amazon and a customer (i.e., me) to login to the Manage Your Kindle or any other page on amazon.com and to request through a form, and
  3. ESV is now sold for $0.00; there is no point to update the book; the owner of the book can simply purchase (for free) a new version.

What do you think?

Have you received a similar update notice from Amazon.com?

If you have bought the ESV, have you recived the same email?
