Print typically only has to deal with 1-3 versions (Hardcover, Softcover, Large Print).

And any citer worth his Chicago Manual will give the publisher, edition if any, and year of publication, so the interested reader can find the cited material on the indicated page.
Alas, I for one self-publisher find myself revising the print edition more often than formerly in order to keep it in sync with the ebook. And I don't change the metadata or the ISBN, though I do change the year of publication on the title page and in the book description. So I am not helping things.
