I clearly communicated my mental dilemma in the editor's note. I archived the original text for anyone interested in seeing it. And I made it crystal clear in the titling and sales blurbs that I made changes. I know I angered some fans--I fully expected to--but I also know readers now have more choices and the work is more accessible than it was before. People can read and enjoy the original book or they can read and enjoy my release.
And I struggle to see how people could have a problem with that.
