I download a lot of eBooks from Overdrive. I have checked and there have been a lot of updates. New covers, better formatting, errors corrected. So there are more eBooks corrected then you think. The problem is that eBooks you buy from most places don't let you know there are updates even if you could redownload and get the new version.
