Minor corrections can be new impressions rather than new editions, I think. On the copyright page, the impression line is the one that looks like this:
30 29 28 27 26 2 3 4 5
As I understand it: That would be the 2nd impression, printed 2026. It's designed so the publisher can remove the innermost character(s) for each new impression, which I imagine was practical for printing presses - the type is already set, just remove a couple characters. Therefore the next impression this year would have,
30 29 28 27 26 3 4 5
The 4th impression, next year:
30 29 28 27 4 5
etc.
Yep - the thing with KDP is that I had to insert that (and would sometimes remember to update it).
I also included a BZR revision number but that’s more difficult to do with git as it doesn’t really have the concept.
