I always download my books as soon as I purchase one,

Well, I'm downloading everything. I know I didn't get the updates previously. When I am done downloading and have them all on calibre, I can use Find Duplicates to remove the duplicates I have.

Add me to this list. As to the possible updates, yeah, not going to go through my thousands of Kindle books to find them. Just don't care enough.

As to the mass downloading going on at the moment, my guess is that many people only download their purchases sporadically, so might easily miss something; hence the panic.

You need to confirm the update for every updated book on your Content page to get the new version. Otherwise you'll get the old version.

Even then Amazon may not offer the update on the Content page! You can't buy a book again you've bought ordinarily. You can delete it and then you can buy it again. Used a 2nd account to verify the book was obviously updated (look inside can show too as the © date will have changed and maybe something else). The repurchase was the original version.

Amazon, not the publisher / content provider, decides if an existing purchaser can get an update or not. Seems that if it's not as an option on the content page you can't even buy the new version unless you use a different account!

Not sure what happens if you buy someone a "gift" ebook and they already have it. I might test that too in the spirit of scientific enquiry.

That's true, unfortunately. If you've bought an older version and Amazon doesn't offer an updated one, you cannot even buy the new version with the same account you used to buy the old version.
