They only seem to be available as paper books or in Kindle format from Amazon. I ended up getting the new one from Amazon and 'converting' it for use on my 650.
When he was alive, Jordan was opposed to electronic publication, which is why we're just now seeing them. Former Tor.com producer Pablo Defendini commented a while back that he was attending a Wheel of Time convention with Jordan's widow and editor, Harriet, and one of his goals was to convince her to lift the restriction so Tor could publish electronic editions. He was apparently successful, as they've been appearing one per month, but ePub versions lag the Kindle release. Patience...
