I'm almost certain we won't be disappointed in the new Steve Jobs biography. I've read two of Walter Isaacson's other books and they were outstanding (especially the one about Albert Einstein). They were easy reads and very engaging. This is the only biography Steve ever authorized and the author interviewed him for the last time only a few weeks ago. It should be some great and honest insight into his life...I've pre-ordered from Amazon (wanted a hard cover for posterity) and am really looking forward to the 24th when it arrives.

Hmmm! Hard cover. You might have something there! I've got all my Harry Potter and Twilight books in hard cover. I was going to download it but I might change my mind. I was reading that Sony or one of those film companies are trying to get the rights to that book to make a film. Especially after The Social Network did so well. Not sure how I feel about that. He was such a private man.

Well, you could always have both...a "real" book as well as having it on iBooks of course. I was thinking of getting a copy of the audio book as well so I could listen to it in the car!

I don't know how I'd feel about a movie either. I did like the Social Network, but that only covered a few years. Trying to squeeze Steve Job's life into 90 minutes or so would be a pretty big challenge. Plus most movies never live up to the book IMHO.

The book should be a treat though!

Yes, I'll probably have both copies eventually. The iPad is my main book now. I feel guilty every time I look at my huge paper book library. A lot of them are in the attic.
My husband prefers a real book. We are both bookworms.

Totally preordering it on iBooks. Can't wait to read it. I love memoirs and a memoir of someone I admire so much.. Yes.
