Of course I'm old enough to remember having a wall phone on a party line and no computers....
To me the biggest reason to update a book would be to correct errors. I remember I bought a book from Sony a year or so ago that had a number of odd characters scattered throughout the text. Maybe I should log onto Kobo and see if it's been updated (I haven't actually shopped at Kobo since the store transfer, due to issues discussed in other threads).

The person leading the discussion is probably in her fifties. She was the only person that I'd interacted enough with to have an idea of her age. The others could have been any age from teen on up. I recognized a few screen names, but didn't know any of them well enough to guess.
From what Kobo told me, you'd have to work with CS to delete the one book from your library and get a new copy. Not sure how well it would work. I'm not even sure how well the Amazon method will work. Honestly, one of the reason I wanted to do this was to try out the "update" feature and see what happened. I had no idea it would take up to 4 weeks for Amazon to "review" the changes and decide on an action. It's obviously not a process for the faint of heart or impatient. If I had serious errors I wanted corrected and had to wait 4 weeks to get the fix out there, I'd be miserable.
