Personally, I'm not very interested in reading it. After all, although I understand his theory is mostly still valid today, there has to be areas where today's science has progressed beyond it. I think I'd rather read a good explanation of the current state of evolution theory, understandable to a 21st century laywoman. Unless the book is interesting from a litterary point of view?
When I got my CyBook I downloaded The Origin of Species, and then I decided I'd rather read his relation of the Beagle's voyage. That was interesting for a while, but I had some difficulties staying interested and when I had technical problems with the Cybook, it got dropped.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
