Kindle Store has a function that allows you to make special requests for 
additional unavailable content SOMEWHERE in the "user friendly" (sic) 
help pages.  Have you tried asking them to request that the publisher 
issue a one-off?  Or, have you considered asking the publisher 
directly?  Some of them do release copies on a case-by-case basis.  It 
depends on the publisher and the content, but I've had success with that 
... once.  At that time, I was able to assure the publisher that I 
wanted the book in the original English and there was NO chance that I 
was going to buy the translated and "localized" copy.  YMMV.
