So unlike what was claimed above, it seems that Amazon can INDEED do this. Perhaps only big name authors like Tolkien are given this consideration, though.

No, it is entirely tied to whether or not you are backing up your annotations and bookmarks to the Amazon site (the default is YES). If you are, then once anything is backed up, you can no longer download an updated version of the book (as all the locations could change and your backup would be bad). At the current time, the only method of doing so, once this occurs, is to return the book, sync, then repurchase. The sync in between removes the book from the Kindle, the repurchase then gives you the new version.
Which is only one reason many of us have turned off this "feature" permanently. Backup your .MBP files yourself and this problem disappears.
