Only in rare cases when the publisher convinces Amazon that an update is critical will it be made available to past purchasers to accept optionally.
Unlike Smashwords where the user/reader can download all versions since bought version.

A publisher has to convince Amazon that it's only formatting / typos and no re-writing and then they'll make it available to prior purchasers. Then you can't download the old version. Make backups and rename older or newer version or download overwrites old one.

Amazon's policy makes it a good idea to wait until you are ready to read it before buying a book. If you buy ahead you may miss out on the fixing of typos and formatting problems by the publisher.

But, that's really not going to make any difference since I don't actually have anything on a Kindle any more to be updated.

I AM downloading to my old Kindle Touch (to transfer via USB). That could be the difference. Maybe they stopped updating the older formats that would go to those older devices and only update the latest and greatest copy-protectedness versions. And, I'd assume the ones they lend via Overdrive would be locked down the hardest.
The Kindle Touch being an older device makes no difference to the code you get with KF8. But as to why your copy is different makes no sense. Can you return it and buy again? If not, call Amazon and see what they have to say.

Yes, I just add it to my Kindle Wish List unless it's a time limited very good offer!

Once I got a 30%+ discount allegedly because an ebook was in my wish list!

In catching up with this thread, during my recovery, all I can say is, if that coder worked for me (the one that did those chapter heads)...he wouldn't. Not once I'd seen this dog's breakfast.

Thanks, boyos. Sloooowly, apparently, very slooowly. "recovering" form this stuff is right up there with trying to pour raw Maple syrup on a 0°F morning. (or -17.7778 for you C folks!)

Unbelievable, this really has been. AT this point, I'm giving up fighting it. You just sort of...wait.

Thanks! Youze guys iz de bestest.

She's still mostly dead, I think.

Needs something more reviving and liquid than Maple Syrup.

But I downloaded that eBook from Amazon and it looks nothing like what the OP posted. The chapter headers display correctly.

Welcome back! I hope you are getting better.
