Pre-ordered on Amazon, cannot wait for it.

This is the one time I recommend a hard copy book over an ebook.

I agree. Will buy it as a keep sake. Something to remember him by.

 

[Zepaw]

Ordered hard-cover. This is the kind of book I will have on a shelf.

Just ordered 10.

These are the xmas gifts this year.

Thank you for that idea, totally going to steal it.

 

[JRoDDz]

Yep. I canceled my Kindle pre-order and pre-ordered the hard cover.

I ordered the hard cover. This is one of those rare books that needs to be in hardcover.


RIP Steve.

 

[Consultant]

Got my copy ordered. Looking forward to getting it early!

If only it could have been an audio book I would have listened to it again and again.

Will pre order this book off iTunes

I spit those who profit from Steve's death

I spit those who profit from Steve's death.

they arent profiting from his death, but rather, from his life.


RIP to one of my heroes

I agree. I'm not an avid book reader by any means but I just ordered the hardcopy myself.

Obviously with him being dead, it makes reading an authorized AB that much more interesting, I hope there's some good behind the scenes stuff like his relationship with Woz, Gates, and even Schmidt.

They aren't profiting from his death, they are profiting from his Life! His family will be receiving financial benefits from the sale of this book.

Steve knew his death was imminent. Anyone with cancer, at the stage his had developed to, does.

Listen, I respect Steve and I will keep his family in my prayers, but I'm not going to change my reading or consumption habits because "Steve would have wanted it that way." He was just a man.

Wrong- he was not just a man!


WWSJD?

iBooks.

(How else would Steve want us to read it?)

Just got the Hard Copy pre Ordered, As much as I would Like it on the Ipad I want a hard copy to Keep

I ordered it on iBooks several weeks ago, but today I decided to get a hardcopy one as well. That way everyone in the house can read it too.

I had every intention of getting two hard cover copies of the book, but the more I think about it, something else seems much more natural. I have an iPhone and iPad, both which I love and use daily. Since both have iBooks, there's only one approach I have to buying Steve's Biography.

I am absolutely going to get one hard cover copy, if not a second at a later point. To accompany it, I'll be reading it on my iPad. The hard cover copy, which I won't touch, is going to be tucked safely away, along with my Time magazine from Dale Earnhardt's death, and a the local newspaper from September 12th, 2001.

There are some things I want kept safe for my "time capsule" (no Apple-pun intended) for when I'm long gone - some things to represent what was closest to my heart.

A must have

This will be the fist time I will be ordering both a hard copy and an electronic version of the same book. I think this is one book that needs to be out on display for my friends and family that come over, while also having a version that I will always have by my side. (I never go anywhere without my iPad!)

 

[Digipimp]

I have to say I haven't really read any books since back in college and high school days. I think this may become my first iBook purchase ever to read on my iPad though.

 

[Gemütlichkeit]

~700 pages, should be a good read.

 

[MyopicPaideia]

English version in European iBook Stores???

I'm only finding an Italian translation...anyone in Europe, outside the UK, find an English version?

 

[dscuber9000]

I pre-ordered on Amazon when Steve stepped down from CEO. I really can't wait for this to come out, and I'm glad they moved it up in response to the sad news.

 

[coolbreeze]

This will be one of the highest volume selling books in history. The publisher will make a fortune similar to how Steve enabled app devs to make their fortunes. Pretty amazing.

 

[mouse.]

I preordered this on the first day. Can books sell out? lol.

... If the book has anything to do with Steve, then I'd go with yes...

 

[Clix Pix]

Getting ready to preorder my copy from iBooks and am also planning to go to the bookstore on the day of the book's publication to pick up a hardcover copy. This is one book which I just have to have on my iPad and iPhone......

"It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don't read anymore... The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don't read anymore."

Steve Jobs-


But Steve, we do
