You know, the Kindle version is tempting, though--it didn't exist when I pre-ordered my copy (yeah, I was a little excited :D ). As long as they do good links to the many margin notes, to make it easy to get there and back again. Because of course ebooks can be adjusted to be easier on the eyes, and also aren't as heavy as a big ol hardback with little margin print.
I had the sample kindle chapter sent to my phone, and tested out some of the links to notes in the introductions (not in the beginning of the autobiography itself, for some reason--there are links, but they don't work, so I assume the truncating of the sample cut the notes off). They seem to work very well! Easy to pop back and forth. And I tested one of the maps, and it works great, I can zoom in on it and everything.
So, maybe take a look at the sample chapter and see what you think, if in the end an e-version might suit your needs better.
