I believe it is. If memory serves me correctly, I first read the free ebook version then went and bought the hardcover version for my library and I don't recall any differences.
For David Weber fans, he is starting a new trilogy that is supposed to be Honor Harrington like. The first book is called
Out of the Dark and is scheduled for release September 28th. The
Publisher's Weekly blurb (from the Barnes & Noble website reads:

Expanded from a short story that first appeared in George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois's anthology Warriors, this trilogy kickoff blends elements of military science fiction and dark fantasy. In the very near future, Earth has been targeted for colonization by a galactic empire known as the Hegemony. Deemed "lunatic local sentients" by a survey team that witnessed King Henry V and his troops slaughtering the French at Agincourt, humankind has essentially been written off as bloodthirsty, expendable barbarians. When the Hegemony's henchmen, the doglike Shongairi, show up to conquer Earth, the resistance is beyond anything they had ever imagined, especially when vampires appear to help the humans. Weber pulls off this conceit in audacious style with a focus on military-powered action that will thrill fans of his Honor Harrington series, and he keeps the pedal to the metal right up to the almost unbelievable conclusion.
