Sorry to hear that - a real PITA and just the sort of thing I'd do
option 1 - would be a no-no for me as I like to support the author so a pirated version doesn't help the author any.
option 2 - are you serious!!! Bit extreme and your hands might ache at the end of it
option 3 - buying another paper book would be ok but not your ideal
option 4 - maybe some kind American could buy you the ebook and then you pay them back via paypal for example?
