Is Our Final Invention available as any kind of e-book anywhere? I can find it in hardback, but not for Kindle or any kind of ePub. I’m not going to start carrying around a pile of paper in order to read it!
What do you mean by “anywhere”? As Vincent Yu mentions, it is available in the US. It hasn’t been published in print or ebook in the UK. When you find it in hardback, it’s imports, right? If it is published in the UK, it will probably be available as an ebook, but I don’t know if that will happen before the US edition is pirated. If you are generally chomping at the bit to read American ebooks, it is worth investing the time to learn if any ebook sellers fails to check national boundaries. The publisher lists six for this book.
Probably not useful, but the US edition is available in France. (Rights to publish English-language books in countries that don’t speak English aren’t very valuable, so the monopolies to the US and UK usually include those rights. So you if you’re in France, you can get the ebook first, regardless of whether it’s published in the US or UK. Unless they forget to make it available in France.)
I think it is more likely rejecting you based on being logged in than based on IP, since I can see UK and FR results. Google cache of that link, both at google.com and google.co.uk show me the kindle edition. ($11)

I see a Kindle edition on Amazon.
That page only shows me a price for the hardcover version. I wonder if it’s because I have a UK IP address? How much is the Kindle version?
I can see it from Finland, lists the price as $16 for me.
