Steve Jobs Book Launch
No question Steve knew how to do the most impactful product launches to sell Apple's latest offerings. This book sure is selling in a big way after his passing.

Wow already stopped going to Giz because of the useless posts now MacRumors is following quickly behind in uselessness. Honestly how is this post not a joke? Really? And if you already have the hardcover why waste money and buy the iPad version? Yeah I love my iPad but if I had a real book I would much rather read that, if not a book then my Kindle 4. The iPad and iPhone would be a last resort. Though I guess someone buying SJs book twice is breaking news these days since there is no more iPhone "it's not called the 5" rumors going around these days.
This was my first iBooks purchase for my new iPhone 4S. I think it will be ok reading it, although I am hoping that iBooks will come to Mac OS X or I'll be in the market for an iPad sooner or later.
I think Steve would have rather I read it on an iPhone than in a hardback book that I would have to store, transport, and pay more for.

The pirate bay Is faster to innovate in this respect. I'd be happy for The same type of deal, though I'm looking @ obtaining less & less physical copies of media.
I am not going to read because I don't read books. This is a book and I will not read it.

I prefer prints on paper ...
Utter, utter FAIL
I wonder if it'll be the same rip-off if you buy in a country other than the one you're living in? I've bought BR/DVD/DC combos from the UK (because they're in English), but the DC won't download because I'm in Switzerland. They don't make that little trick obvious in the advertising!
£8.30 at WH Smith in hard cover, Amazon Kindle and iBook are £12.99.
I know which one I'll be buying.

Apparently people are expecting this book to be quite popular, one trader is trying to sell it for £1,223.28 on Amazon UK

Delivery is £2.80 so when you use his silly price with the wrong comma it ends up being £12.23 with £2.80 delivery
Or he is really that stupid lol ...

Technically that's only two ways of reading it: as an iBook and as an actual book. Now if he'd had an overhead projector or something, that would have been cool.
Absolutely! I get two more sheep done per hour because of the bigger shear size!
Can't argue with that logic. But I nominate that macrumors be henceforth called a book.

There's no way in hell anyone is going to top this, lock the thread...it's done!
I wonder...
I wonder if you can sync the hard cover bookmarks with the iPad over iCloud?
Anybody tried that yet?

They're working on it.
2 ways to buy an electronic copy is not a different version is it? Is there no paperback? If one does come out will that be an additional way?
....Yeah I'm going to buy myself a Kindle version as well. The hardback is beautifully done but it's huge and will be awkward to read leaning back
I went for the Kindle version for my iPad over the iBooks version, because I like the feature where you can share quotes from the book direct to Facebook &/or Twitter.
I know that's a bit sad, but I know there will be some real "wow" moments in there that I'd like to post anyway.
Now comes the point where everyone says "You can do that from iBooks too!"
