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.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am "out of sorts" with B&N right now, but Kobo might be an option. I'd hate to pass the book up with it at such a great price right now.
Just curious: when you got the PDF, who did you purchase it from?
Paperback doesn't sound like much of an option. ha
