On the other hand, the edition available now is the one and only edition available and the changes were made while the author (not a powerless entity himself) was still above ground.

So your options are:
  1. Buy the only available edition
  2. Don't read the book at all (on your e-reader)
  3. Wait for the 'original, uncut' cash-in edition that will likely be published at some vague point in the future
I fully agree, though there is a 4th option: scour used book stores to find an old, pre-altereation edition.
