Can Lion be purchased from the Apple store?

[jkish7978]

I can't seem to find a definite answer. Here's my problem:

I have SnowLeopard, but am unable to find my original disc that came with my macbook when I purchased it. I figured instead of paying however much to have the disc replaced, I would just upgrade to Lion. However, can you only purchase Lion through the app store? I was hoping I could purchase it from the Apple store on a disc so that it would replace my SnowLeopard disc that I have misplaced.

Any help or suggestions would be great! Thank you!

If you have any DVD-Rs, you can make your own Lion disc by downloading it from the app store.

You can get a flash drive, but it's $69.

You can purchase it on a USB key at an apple store for $69.
