My full recommendation would be to buy it from Kobo or B&N and load it into Calibre using Apprentice Alf's tools. You could then convert to whatever you want. I bought mine from B&N, downloaded it with B&N's desktop software and loaded it to Calibre.

If you don't want to remove the DRM, then I'd probably recommend Kobo, since you can read it using Adobe Digital Editions. If you get a tablet, you can then use any of the ADE-compatible reader apps.

All I know about Amazon is that it would only let me download the sample to one of my Android tablets even though I also have an e-ink Kindle and K4PC. I suppose you could buy it from Amazon and wait until they either update the application or you get a compatible device.

The last option is that the paperback is still in print and can be bought new for about $20.

I have an EreaderIQ alert for the author. I bought the PDF and epub from Books on Board when they could discount HarperCollins books. I told them about the bad epub and they promised a replacement when the publisher fixed it. HarperCollins eventually fixed the epub, but over a year after BoB went out of business and I've been waiting for it to go on sale since then. I couldn't justify another $15 when I already had the PDF, but $2 is way better than I'd even hoped.
