That doesn't even work, for those. You can delete, buy again and you'll still get the original edition you purchased, not the current one (had a tech do that a half-dozen times on my account, as she didn't believe it worked that way).
They have an "ASIN UPDATER TOOL" (it's called that on their desktop) that they use to give you the latest edition of a book...
Btw, since they added these notices, the update process is automated. You put the word "Yes" (quotes seem not to matter, use or not) on the first line of a reply and it automatically updates that book on all Kindles on your account that have it loaded (the next time they sync) and in your library (for download). Much easier than the old method of getting them to do the update by hand (using the above tool).
