Pirate the ebook, buy a paper copy to support the author (they generally even earn more per paper copy, iirc). Ideally at a local book store, as they are a dying breed as well.

Don't like dead trees around? Gift it to someone. Or ask the local library if they want it

Excellent advice. I'd add: if you cannot gift it, or the library doesn't want it, give it to a charity shop or book club.
