£5.99 (about $8.50) at Amazon UK, which is a pretty typical ebook price. The paperback is £9.99, so the ebook price is 60% of the paperback, which seems pretty reasonable to me, particularly when one considers that the ebook price includes 20% VAT, while the paperback has no VAT.

According to Amazon it's 402 pages, BTW .
