Particularly if they call it "new and improved." Makes me feel like I'm a shmuck for loving the original.
Plus as I think we've discussed before I read a lot of romantic suspense. If they update an 80s/early 90s story to present day to make it "better" for modern audiences, they basically have to rewrite the entire book to addresss just the issue of cell phones or why the characters didn't use the internet to discover some piece of information.
