Does this not mean that Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time is not available as an ebook? Perhaps you could help me understand.
Notice the part you quote has no full stop. You are associating the opening clause of the next sentence with this previous sentences. Break out the sentences into their own relevant paragraphs and you get:

"Looking for a science themed book, perhaps Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time. I'll decide later."

"It's not available as an ebook (and out of print as well) and way too long to nominate, but if you ever get the chance to read Issac Asimov's A New Guide to Science, it's a fantastic read on the history of science. Much of the material from Carl Sagan's Cosmos probably came from this book. Fortunately I picked up a used hardback."
