Both of the above match my limited experience with updates.

I'm getting a bit sour on updates. In the past year or so, for every single update except one that I have downloaded, the only changes were to the list of "other books you might be interested in" (paraphrased). In the other update, the only change was the correction of a minor typo in the excerpt from an upcoming book.
