Review: No chance for an update????

I purchased the original free kindle books and how to find them in 2011.  As I have so many kindle books and still have the old kindle keyboard model, I keep them all in the cloud and download them only when I am reading them so that my older kindle doesn't take forever to turn the pages.  I haven't referred to this book in a long time and just so happened to want to look through it today, but sure enough, it isn't even in my cloud!  So I search my "manage my kindle" screen in Amazon and sure enough, it's not there either.  Thinking I may have deleted it by mistake, I look the ebook up in Amazon and see that I have not purchased it.  Digging further, I find another one (Nov 14, 2011) and when I try to purchase it, I get the flag that "Instant Order Update for ME. You purchased this item on May 9, 2011. View this order." however, there is no download button and there is a warning on the page "Item Under ReviewThis book is currently unavailable because there is an issue with its description, content, or formatting.We are working with the publisher to fix the issue. As always, we value customer feedback. "But, there is another one available?  Why did I not just get an update link to redownload a book I had already purchased.  Doesn't seem quite fair.  I'm kinda miffed and will not re-purchase this book again.  If you buy it once, you shouldn't have to buy it again because the author decided to make a whole new one with the same information and re-charge those who have already purchased it.  Hmmmm.
