I finally realized that I
was going to buy it (and soon), so that broke the choice down for me to two options: 1) pay $26 for a hardback that I have no place to store, and 2) pay $18 for an e-book that I could store, was the format I'd rather read, and which just might encourage Tor to pull out that stick (you know from where) they seem to have about e-books.
Once I thought about it in those terms, it was a pretty easy choice.
