This is actually something that is worrying. Will the concept of a specific edition of a book survive? Suppose a book is published and you buy it and it contains some words that leads to protests. Can then a new release be made and Amazon just silently replacing the book? I suppose there is an interest with certain organizations to be able to do these kind of things.
To me it seems that we need some sort of checksum so we can check that our books are the editions we expect them to be.
