Nope, he's a buddhist - but imho that's the most tolerable religion and by far not as bad as christian or muslim.

Steve Jobs' Authorized Biography Gets New Title

I prefer the new title.
"iSteve, The Book of Jobs" is completely contrived.
And Steve Jobs has a life outside of Apple that I would guess is quite interesting. I hope they keep it real.

I agree that it would make it a better title, but I think it "I, Steve" should only be a chapter. He has been involved in so many other things in his life that "I, Steve" suggests Apple is the only thing the book would be about.
I can agree to an extent, however the new title just seems dull & lackluster. I didn't mind "The Book Of Jobs" gave the title a push (for a cover title). I know it's hard to tell how the actual content of the book will be - but I think a catchy name would'nt hurt.
It's subjective but I prefer the first title/idea.
Pre-order irony
I clicked on "pre-order from Amazon" and was redirected to Amazon. It was ironic though you could pre-order it for the Kindle too! So a person can pre-order it for the Kindle but not the iPad

How about a Steve Jobs biography title competition?
Like " A Million Jobs"
or
"More Jobs for America"
How about "Getting the Jobs Done"?
How about no.
If they're not using it for the book title, I'm at least hoping the last chapter is going to be entitled 'One More Thing' and will make the rest of the book pale into insignificance.

The $1 salary is a nominal fee, designed to avoid as much taxation as possible. He is paid in stock, dividends and benefits (such as a company jet). He is worth billions.

bet ya there will be a disclaimer on the front cover telling buyers to hold it a certain way for the best experience.
Amazon are ripoff artists? I don't know, I order something from them, it usually comes in at least 5% cheaper, free shipping, and no sales tax. If I find it cheaper elsewhere, I buy it elsewhere, but they are usually the best prices. What qualifies them to be ripoff artists
They stole the App Store. By buying from Amazon you're supporting the same people. It's no different than buying a blood diamond.
Even if Jobs isn't religious, the biblical book of Job, with the title character's difficult path set for him by God, would have had some nice parallels to the challenges of Steve Jobs' career.
Also, I agree with others that iSteve would have also been a great title on it's own.
The problem here was that the book had two punny titles, where one would have been plenty.
My bet is that the author probably fell in love with both of them like they were his children, and couldn't bear to show preference to one over the other.
It was a mistake to throw out both and go with such a generic title.
