I can buy the hardback from Chapters.ca for $25.08CDN. So, yes it is more expensive than the hardback. These are both discounted prices for the hardcover, but Chapters almost always marks 34% for some reason. I think that is part of the discontent with e-book prices in general for new giganticPublishingHouse releases. Personally, I don't usually care about new releases, there is so much out there to read I'll wait until I find this at the library with no wait list for free in a few years. Chapters doesn't seem to have an e-book option for this yet.
