Sometimes, even if they add quite a bit of new material, they'll update for free. I bought a multi-book author's collection -- saw that the publisher had added two more books to the collection -- and then realized that my book had already been updated.
But it can also be a pain. I had downloaded some short story magazines from the same publisher -- several issues of a few different titles. Later on they decided to rename all their titles (which seemingly random names) and all my collection had these new names and I had no idea which was which. (The old names where eSciFi, eFantasy, eSteamPunk, eNoir, etc. Now they're PRIMER, New Realm, Nebula Rift and Heater. The covers still have the old titles. It's a mess -- but a bigger mess is the new Amazon Manage My Content ... view. SLOW and ugly. I wish these computer dweebs with just quit messing with the interface.)
