I've read this book in pbook format. It appears to be available in both MOBI and EPUB formats too (though geo-restricted). The book itself isn't a straightforward biography of Captain Cook. It's more of a travelogue about Cook's legacy, each chapter or so focusing on a particular episode of Cook's life. There are citations, but it's not an academic work, rather a likeable and fairly educational read. It's been a while since I've read it, but I remember enjoying it, and it's probably worth looking at if you're interested in Captain Cook or the effects of British colonialism.
