This is after they announced a separate release of non-bowdlerized versions. So extant purchasers who wish to have e-book versions of the original need to buy them a second time. Had they just released the modified versions as a separate edition this would have been unnecessary. In view of this timeline of events, increasing revenue seems to be the motive here, and the publishers seem to now be implicated in some kind of deceptive business practice such as bait and switch or worse.
