I've sent in plenty of corrections, never gotten a book updated (at least not those ones).

I don't think Amazon will actually force the publisher to update the book except perhaps in seriously error-filled books.
I've noticed books taken down from time to time until repairs are done. This HarperCollins book I purchased a few months ago shows unavailable with an "Under Repair" banner on it.

At one point, I could have linked the page from MYK before it became Manage-Your-Content-&-Whatever showing updated books. I'm not sure at the moment.
