B&N and Amazon occasionally put updated versions of already-purchased books in your online account. And I occasionally check for and download new versions of books I already purchased, in the hope of finding errors corrected and/or improved formatting.

I've only bought a few books from Google, Kobo, etc., so I don't know if you can "re-download" previously purchased books using standard Adobe DRM.

I can see a company wanting to "close the loophole" of previously purchased books using easily-defeated DRM, and so upgrading the encryption if a new copy is downloaded.
Downloading. During purchase the server have no clue about your adobe ID.

Yes, though there is a 3 times limit.
