I can't find who published this as an ebook, so I can't check the publisher. Is there normally a delay between various outlets getting ebooks available to sell? I'd assume that Amazon would be first just because of their size. What kind of delay between various outlets getting a book to sell is normal?
While it's hard to say if the Kindle edition is legal or not (I agree it looks suspicious), some books are published on Amazon only and may never become available anywhere else. So if you see an ebook on Amazon and nowhere else, get it from Amazon. You can convert it to epub or kepub for your Kobo.
