I would not bother to change an eBook other then to fix errors. Heck, I had one eBook where the author posted that there was an error (from the publisher) that slipt through and I was able to correct it before reading while the pBook was released with the error. take that pBooks.

But I would not do more then change what is an error. If I didn't like the story enough that it needed an new ending, I would not recommend it to anyone.

Tomorrow I will be posting an eBook with an error. So far all I've found is one error. It's in a Star Trek eBook where not too long ago, the errors were not only in the text, but with the embedded fonts. Now, the seem to be pretty well formatted and the number of errors have dropped a lot.
