I absolutely agree. The rare changes I make are fully explained in the pre-purchase blurbs and documented in the appendix. My print editions note the corresponding page numbers while my eBooks link directly to it. Readers can then opt to read the original lines if they prefer.
Making changes and not communicating that the book has been altered is unethical.
