I do find it irritating that an author will put a chapter or two a book at the end of an ebook. To me, a better way to do an "Other books by this author..." is to put it at the end of the book with just the name of the book and (maybe) a small blurb about each book. Make each title of the book a link so that the Reader go to them if he/she desires.

Concerning the Copyright Page, which not just make it standard to be the third page of an ebook (after the Cover and the Title Page and before the Table of Contents)?

As far as Version Numbers go, from what I understand the reason for the string of numbers is so that all that needs to be done with the original copyright page is remove the lower version numbers without the need to recreate the entire page (the book is a third version, so "1" had been erased for the second version, and "2" will be erased for the third version). However, with ebooks this should not be needed since they could just write "3rd Version" for the third version of an ebook.

Compare that to the way that comic books do it. In the miniseries Identity Crisis the original printing of the first issue sold out. For each subsequent printing they changed the cover, going from black & white (second printing), "shattered" picture cover (third printing), red background (fourth printing), and pencil sketch (Diamond Retailer Edition). Due to the high number of sales of the series, each issue had at least two printings, each with varied covers.
