Unclear -- is this a physical book, an ebook, or both?

Digital – every button on the page says "Buy Digital Book Now"
I swear they didn't say that a few minutes ago...anyway, ebook is what I wanted, so I'm happy.
The page is definitely undergoing launch changes, there didn't use to be an offer for a physical book on the page either.
Ebook, provided as an epub download immediately after paying for it. (no pdf or mobi/Kindle files)
Dammit, the epub format is such a disgrace for books, especially for those containing code snippets. I've yet to encounter a book that doesn't suffer from being published as epub. I prefer a well formatted pdf that just looks like the printed book, any time.
