The eBook is a protected PDF, but you can use it to print a paper copy for your use and to make notes on. The updates are downloaded through the same original link that you get to make the first download.

Advantages of Digital Books.

My eBooks in PDF format contain links to external web sites which you can jump to by clicking on the links in the book.
The left side panel contains bookmarks which allow jumping to the topic.
The PDF readers have an excellent search feature by which you can quickly find any word or phrase.



P.S.
You can get your update after more than 2 months, but I won't tell you how much more, it's quite a bit more than 60 days.

I am interested in comments and feedback.
