So in the recent livestream on YouTube, they showed us some examples of the textual changes they were making to The Way of Kings for the 10th Anniversary leatherbound edition.

This isn't the first time Brandon has "Pulled A George Lucas" on his previously published Cosmere works; he also tweaked Elantris for the 10th Anniversary Edition, IIRC, including an extra "Hoid With A Skaze" epilogue, and more significantly, changed the ending to the Kaladin vs. Szeth duel in the storm at the end of Words of Radiance. I'm not sure of the timing on that one (how soon after initial publication he made the revision), as I only picked up SA a few months after WoR was released, and have only ever read the revised text, discovering that there had used to be a different version on this board.

The types of edits they showed making to TWoK were mostly stylistic and writerly, but in my opinion excellent ones. I take it the revised edition would be available in HC without dropping $100 on the leatherbound version? What about as an e-book (Kindle)? Would those actually get updated automatically upon a re-download? I also got WoR as a Kindle book and as far as I can see, there is no option to download the "original" text; so I would take that to mean that had I bought the Kindle book earlier, and re-downloaded it, I'd get the revised text as a new buyer would, overwriting the earlier one, right?
