A big flaw I see in purchasing ebooks is that you normally cannot receive updated versions at a reduced price. I can understand completely why you don't get cheap upgrades for printed books, but it seems completely unreasonable that I cannot upgrade version 4 of a technical book to version 5 without buying the entire book again.
Companies really need to consider this and find a way (say for 10-20% of the full electronic book price) upgrade a book when a new version comes out. I suspect that many of us will refuse to pay full price for a new version, but would consider a price like that as a reasonable cost to get the new and updated material.
