You can get it direct from Elsevier for ~78 euros: https://shop.elsevier.com/books/risc-v-system-on-chip-design...
Maybe it's just a regional thing, but it's showing 78 euros for the paperback for me. Plus I bought the paperback recently at that price too.
For the ebook
With or without DRM?
It's available as a PDF. I think Elsevier puts the buyer's name (email address?) into the file as a watermark of sorts, but that is it.
Use FOOD30 for 30% off.
“The promo code "FOOD30" is not valid.”
Might be a region-specific promo code? Worked in the US for me.
Works only on the paperback. I had added the bundle to my cart.
I just pre-ordered this book and think it's definitely worth it.

Full disclosure: I have no affiliation with the author, but I'm sharing because I genuinely believe in the work.

Why do you say it's worth it before you've even read it, let alone seen it?
It’s worth (for me paying that amount of money for) it.

We all do this kind of value judgement before paying for a product we haven’t yet evaluated.
