I'd say if you're willing to read paper, your best bet is to hunt it down in a used bookstore or see if the library has it. I originally read it from the Vancouver Public Library's hardback copy and you might be able to arrange an inter-library loan through the BC province-wide system if they haven't turfed it from their shelves to make space for yet another Dan Brown book in the meantime.

It's very good, though probably not what you'd expect.

I also second the recommendation upthread for Harry Turtledove's Ruled Britannia, which I bought on considered impulse last year and turned out to be well worth it. My impressions, for the morbidly curious, can be found in the What Are You Reading thread post here.
