Amazon has the update ?

Yes both the Kindle and the paperback books have been updated.
If you have bought a Kindle copy from Amazon and want it automatically updated, follow these steps:

First turn on automatic updates, as follows:
Preliminary step to ensure synchronisation of your notes, bookmarks etc between the original and the new book.

If your device is a Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire HDX, Kindle for Windows 8, and Kindle for BlackBerry 10 then Whispersync for Books (Annotations Backup) is enabled automatically on and can't be turned off.

If you have any other device, make sure Whispersync for Books is turned on for your device or Kindle reading app to sync your notes, highlights, bookmarks, and furthest page read.

Next, enable Automatic Book Updates as follows:
1. Go to Manage Your Content and Devices (www.amazon.com/mycd).
2. Select the Settings tab.
3. Select "On" under Automatic Book Update.
