This way those of us who have read them from the beginning can still have access to original stories, and we can read the new versions to see what it would have been like if the main character was excited about getting a big flat screen TV instead of the colour TV they got in the original version. In some cases she made sure to say 'there wasn't any cell reception at the beach so they had to use the pay phone at the convenience store.'
Personally I would love to get updates to some of the ebooks I have with many weird characters or spelling errors. However, I can usually manage to read them anyway and don't stress too much about them, especially since it seems like a pain to figure out if there are updates available.

Haven't read them, I am just fine with the old versions. What can I say, I am imaginative enough to appreciate the story with all the alien worlds and magic and everything.
Would you recommend reading the millennium editions anyway?
