The IS "free updates" have now been delayed until February, 2026.

We'll see how that goes.

I am literally poking my head into the forum to try and find out whether Ingram Spark still ever give out discount codes for free updates ... and I find this!

Bonus!

(no I did not get an email from them about it.)

I'll gladly suffer 1.875 per cent over 50 bucks a pop. And face it, 25 bucks for a single update was pretty much dead in the water. We all know that it was a new cover plus the interior for 50 bucks. If one wanted an acceptable standard of print book, that is.
