Now, this is a good idea. Version numbers, like for software releases. The uploaded books on MR already have this so why can't eBook publishers do the same, with the possibility of a new download for free if one has already paid for it? There should also ideally be a mechanism put in place where mistakes spotted by readers could be signalled to the publisher systematically. Come to think of it, we really seem to be at a very primitive stage of the eBook industry.
