I really hope that mistakes are fixed by making a new edition. I would really hate it if I cannot know which edition I have read or if friends I discus books with have read the same edition or not.
The bad thing with self publishing is that it seems to bypass the process were an author develops and gets better.

I think that an author who accepts feedback from fans will get better. Well, if they pick and choose. So if fans are saying "we love the character development but think that the world building is a little thin" that could be helpful. Or "The story is great but there are a fair number of spelling mistakes, look out for...) could help.
