Not all updates are bad. There are enough typos etc. that getting updates is usually a good things.
Since I don't use a kindle, I don't know how fine grained the updates are. Can you turn it of for a single book? If so, how would you know which ones to turn it off for?
If I purchased a good copy and then saved it to my private library, then if/when the vendor "fixes" it with a censored version, I still have what I bought.
