This isn't something that has changed recently. If the firmware detects a change in a book on the device, it is removed from the internal database and reprocessed as a new book. The change it is looking for is file size. This is stored in the database. if the file size is different, it is reprocessed. There was a time that this was not the case, but that was a long time ago. It might actually have been changed with FW2.0.0, but it was definitely before FW2.8.1.

If you use calibre, the KoboTouch driver handles this. When a book is resent to the device, the driver updates the file size in the database. As long as you don't change the structure of the book this is safe. Fixing spelling, grammar. code in a page or the CSS is safe. But, changing the names of the files in an epub or changing the ToC is not. In this case the book needs to be deleted and reprocessed.
