Amazon, not the publisher / content provider, decides if an existing purchaser can get an update or not. Seems that if it's not as an option on the content page you can't even buy the new version unless you use a different account!
Not sure what happens if you buy someone a "gift" ebook and they already have it. I might test that too in the spirit of scientific enquiry.

That's true, unfortunately. If you've bought an older version and Amazon doesn't offer an updated one, you cannot even buy the new version with the same account you used to buy the old version.
