You probably should. Also try these free online books:
Practical Common Lisp -> http://gigamonkeys.com/book/
Successful Common Lisp -> http://psg.com/~dlamkins/sl/
Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation ->
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/
That should get you started. Searching will get you the rest.

That's only true for a fairly narrow definition of ebook.

... which is a link to the "ebook" version of "On LISP".
How is this relevant to the quest for an ebook version of "ANSI Common
LISP"?

I'd suggest looking for a used copy anyway because the book is pretty
expensive (I think something like 40+ USD for a paperback). "On Lisp"
is a great book but definitely not for beginners.
