I bought it 12 years ago in paperback (it's not available as an e-book).
I read this decades ago and it's a stand-out book for me; I put it among the most powerful books I've read in my life. One of those books I think I should reread, but as you say, no ebook. I still have my paper copy, but that makes it much less likely to happen.
