I'm not so much concerned with the updated version, just access to the version I paid for. One book I purchased is now available in a "deluxe" version and I am not able to download the original version. I've got it backed up in several places so not a big deal and I'm not going to contact Kobo customer service. If I didn't have the backups, I'd be a bit more upset. It's not like we have the option of hitting the used bookstores as I've done on several occasions to replace a deadtree book.
