I need to get this book.
I would like to purchase this ebook, but I don't have a kindle. I haven't found another ebook store that sells it. I have a Sony 700. Any idea of how to get this book. Thanks in advance!

Try this
Barnes and Noble has it in ereader format.

There are people on this site that use software to convert ebooks to different formats but I think Kindle is one that cannot be converted.

Hope that helps.

The Kindle version can be converted, it's azw, (after removing DRM), but you do need a Kindle or iPhone/iTouch w/ Kindle app to be able to buy from Amazon at least until the PC app come out.

I would ask someone at B&N if they are going to put out an epub version for the Nook. If so, all you have to do is ditch the DRM.

I've had pretty good luck getting information by emailing a couple publishers.

Any idea when the PC software might come out? It is ridiculous how B&N are charging double the price in comparison to the kindle version.

Asking the publisher to release an ebook in a version other than Kindle. Specifically ask for an epub version.

I meant emailing publishers and getting a date as to when the same Kindle-available book would be available at the Sony store. I've gotten immediate replies.
