The "automatically update" the version of the book you purchased is available for most ebook sellers such as b&n and amazon. It is not something I would recommend for exactly this reason.

It seems to me to be unethical for a publisher, book retailer, or author to reissue an omnibus with changes. To issue another omnibus with the different books is not the same!

The way updates are made to existing books it would be possible for a retailer to "update" your library with blank books lol.

Also, while I might complain to the bookseller, I doubt I'd contact the author. So you would likely have lost me as a reader without ever hearing about it.
