Since it costs practically nothing to fix errors once they are spoted, as the time pases by, there is no reason why once issued ebooks should not be updated.

Ah ok, i get your point but i doubt that it costs "practically nothing". It costs at least working time (error fixing, re-creation of the ebook - maybe in different versions/formats - redistribution to all retailers). It's bad practice but why should a business invest that working time if "only" a handful customers are complaining? On the other hand many ebooks get updated at times but in the majority of cases existing customers don't get any information about such updates. And in some cases businesses think that a customer should pay again for the update.
