Amazon: A Patch for Your Novel Is Ready to Download
As e-books go mainstream, authors are gaining an opportunity to literally rewrite history.
Eagle-eyed owners of the Amazon (AMZN) Kindle e-reader, like Paul Biba of the site TeleRead, have taken note of messages from Amazon letting them know that an e-book they had purchased “contained some errors that have been corrected.” The notes come with an offer from Amazon to wirelessly download an updated version of the book–with the owners’ permission.
An Amazon spokesman confirms that the company does, from time to time, contact customers with updates, and they occur with both fiction and non-fiction titles.
