Dune was the first science fiction book I read that drew me in completely. I read it several times over the years. I bought a copy for my eReader and was surprised that it seemed different than I remembered. Research found that it was edited by the current copyright owner (Frank Herbert passed away). I don't know why it was edited but in places it seems to foreshadow things I don't remember seeing in the book.

So I bought a $9 used copy of the 1965 edition, for reference. I'm keeping that one.
