Just for fun, wanted to see who will and which way they will get it.

Preordered my iBooks version today.

Is there an audiobook version? I wasn't going to read it, but I will if there is an audiobook.

Seems kind of pricy at just over $30... Not sure if that price is the norm for an audio book.

I pre-ordered a hardback copy. Not really sure what pre-ordering is though!

The book doesn't come out till Monday.if you preordered online, they will automatically ship it once it is out. If you preordered in a store, or online for instore pickup, you are reserving a copy that won't be placed on the shelf, and is guaranteed yours, even if they run out of stock on the shelves.

I don't know tbh, is it a full biography as in finishing on his tragic passing? nothing worse than having a something end at the wrong time :(

I'll order the iBooks version.

Already pre-ordered for the Kindle app on my iPad 2. :)

Pre-ordered for iBooks, it's supposedly the most revealing portrait of Steve Jobs on every issue.

I think I preordered the Kindle version. If I didn't I will purchase it when it comes out.

why would you preorder something digital? They won't run out...

Cool, thanks!

because it will automatically download the second it becomes available. When I wake up monday, I can just pick up my iPad a start reading. No need to go to the ibooks store, search, and download it.
