I can never bring myself to buy ebooks it just isn't worth it to read on a screen I hate it. This is tempting but it still seems like a waste.
Print is always better than digital in my opinion though I haven't tried a kindle yet.

For a novel, though, I definitely prefer the Kindle or a real book. (Real books annoy me now, because they are harder to hold. They are too springy, and fighting that gets tiring. Yes... I am lazy...)
edit: amazon has it for 8 dollars for the kindle( which can be read on am iphone if you're so inclined)

They say that they worked with Lexcycle, makers of Stanza, the iPhone ebook-reader, to make this work well.
