> …Something I am still annoyed by is the way editions work with traditional publishers and with Amazon.

I created a pair of tools [1][2] to address exactly this issue, but I kinda left developing it midway.

One way to solve this issue is by publishing your manuscript like a website. I know that while it solves the issue of releasing the most updated edition/version of your book, it probably does not exactly solve the perception held by the readers of 'what is a book' vs. a website–and therefore, only a few would be willing to pay you for it.

The other solution, imo, is to bring a book-like experience on the web, but that is a whole another beast altogether.
