I thought I was missing something but figured they just didn't have a link to purchase it. I ended up going to the publisher's site to track it down:

How on earth is the ebook more expensive than the physical copy!

  • And it's not an actual ebook. You have to create an account on the "ebook" provider's site and read it through their website or app.

  • The physical copy will only get used by one reader (at a time). The ebook is going to be, err, "liberated" more often than not around a dorm?

    In all seriousness, this is likely a nudge to a preference they have for how they want to sell this and how you should want to buy it.

    • They advertise the ebook as having interactive features and more compared to the print version. Shouldn't it be the preferred one?
