I believe new versions of Calibre are normally released every week, so you never have long to wait to test out the update notification

The idea of smaller updates has been talked about here before. I believe there are good reasons for updates being done the way they are, but I honestly can't remember what those reasons are.

I have seen advice (I think it was from Kovid himself) saying that you shouldn't bother updating unless the update has a bug fix or new feature that you actively want. I know that when I see updates available, I check the change log. If the update fixes a bug that affects me, or adds functionality I want, I update. If it doesn't, I don't bother.
