I would not say that this is similar to the 1984 mess because there is an updated version of the book available. I would call the Publisher and complain to them about the problem and see if they will give you a copy of the new version.

I disagree. It's not an updated Kindle version due to some technical issue or typos (I update my publications all the time because of those).
It's a completely different revised edition of the Bible. They chose to call it the same name NIV; however, it's a "new" revision of the translation. The one they deleted was
1984 NIV (Orwellian parallel?). The new one is
2010/11 NIV. Because of the wild success of 1984 NIV, Zondervan wants to position 2010/11 NIV as a complete replacement of 1984 NIV and
2005 TNIV (people and churches that are NIV-"based" would have to upgrade).
However, for various reasons some folks would like to keep the 1984 edition (to compare between the two, the "tradition" of using the 1984 text, because they disagree with the revisions, for historical reasons, etc.). An analogy would be if Lockman Foundation deleted people's
1977 NASB and replaced it with
1995 NASB. In the realm of Bible translations, these things are very important.
