So if you have eBooks you've bought that are at least a year old that you have not yet read, download any you plan to soon read so you have the latest version. This goes for both ePub and Amazon eBooks.
Doesn't work. Not for Amazon or Kobo anyway.

Amazon will still push you the version you originally bought so you'll only get the updated copy if one the publisher/author did the update correctly and you update it (or have auto updates on) and two if they didn't just pull down the old one and republish under a new ASIN.

Kobo doesn't notify anyone there is a new copy and doesn't update existing purchases automatically. You have to know that the book has been updated and then request from CS that they push the newer version to your account and hope they follow through.

Not sure about Google, B&N, OmniLit, eBooks.com, etc.
