If the edition is the same, Amazon won't let you buy it a second time. The orange 'Buy now with 1-Click' button will instead be a green 'Read Now' button and there will be a banner across the top saying 'You purchased this book on January 1st, 2017' or somesuch.
The problem comes when a publisher relists the book, perhaps there's a new introduction or what-have-you. The ISBN changes and to Amazon, that's a new book.
I thought Shōgun went on sale just recently. I checked all my Kindle books and didn't have any by James Clavell, so I'm glad this was spotted.
