If a new version of the book is generated, iBooks or iTunes won't update its version when the new ePub file is dropped / downloaded. What I've tried so far:

* changing the contents of `content.opf` to refresh the `package-file-hash` property in the `iTunesMetadata.plist` file: a new instance of the book is created
* adding an `itemId` property to the `iTunesMetadata.plist` file and then touching `package-file-hash`: the new version is ignored
* changing the `itemId` property in the `iTunesMetadata.plist` file: a new instance of the book is created
