If you can't possibly wait for the book until November, you can get a beta version of the ebook at http://www.manning.com/fogus/ for $28. Highly recommended.

I just bought the MEAP ebook and the print book, using the InfoQ 35% discount, for just $7 more. Highly recommended.

fogus, I'm not sure how these things work. If the discount affects your royalties, say so and I'll delete this comment.

Not at all -- the more people that read it the better. I'm not getting rich either way. ;-)

I think the InfoQ code is infoq35 if anyone else wants to use it.

Do you have any plans for discounts etc. for current purchasers if/when you release any new editions?

If you follow him on twitter, it's not uncommon for he and his coauthor @chrishouser to mention the sales, so I think they're ok with buying it discounted :)

Any idea if this book will be in mobi format? Manning support for kindle has been pretty poor so far.

I converted the PDF to .mobi myself and it reads pretty well modulo images and code samples.
