For those, you would have to contact Amazon and ask them to replace your older version with the new one.
In other words, say that a book had been updated by the publisher ten times, and you bought version 7. Amazon might have only converted versions 8-10. If so, you have to ask Amazon to replace your version #7 with the latest in order to get #10 with KFX.
At least, this is what it's looking like to me, and maybe this is what happened to you. Note that not all revisions are offered to you, even if you ask for automatic updating. Revisions are only announced and updated automatically when the publisher specially requests that for a specific revision. (And then it takes a few weeks.)

I believe that you have found the problem. I must have an old revision of the book associated with my account. I de-registered my Kindle and registered it to my wife's Amazon account. After buying the (free) book again there it was delivered to the PW2 in KFX format. I will see if I can get Amazon customer service to update that book under my account.

Thanks, Aaron! I found your blog to be very informative. It is sad to see how Amazon has botched its new book rendering software.
I have described a different problem with it in
another thread.
