Others have reported difficulty in getting the option to stick. I don't know why.

Not long ago you could only send ten books at a time. The current situation is a big improvement over that!

The delivery process sometimes fails, especially if you queue a large number of books at once. When that happens you have to manually retry the unchecked books, as you found.

Those are books that have been updated by the publisher, with an update deemed important enough to push to prior purchasers. (Minor updates are not usually made available to those who previously purchased a book.)

You can press the "Update Available" button for each book to update them one-by-one or you can turn on "Automatic Book Updates" in the settings tab. That will make less work for you, but you will not know when updates have occurred. (You may want to be aware of future updates if you backup your purchases, for example.)
