My local TESCO is selling HB for £10. Amazon (UK) Kindle edition is going for £12.99:

Why oh why this site is so anti-Apple? This book is NOT an 'Apple product' and is more expensive on your dear little 'Kindie' than any other edition.
I am listening to the audio version on my 2 years and 4 months old iPhone 3GS which goes through a minimum of five hours of audiobook listening plus normal use as a cell phone used in a busy workplace and I never had a problem with it. My first iPod lasted 8 years. That's what you pay for when you pay a premium price: reliability and high quality. You have to experience a product for years to be able to comment on the price of a premum product. I wonder how many of us go through these years before making thiese judgements. I brought up a family of four on my old iMac DV500 (bought 2nd hand in 2001). All my 4 of my kids learned how to read on it playing hours of Reader Rabbit, Blinky Bill and Jump Ahead games and the computer still works. Their Dad went through 5 Windows laptops in this time. Should have bought an 'expensive' and Macbook in the first place.
About the book (
spoiler-alert). It is candid and Steve comes accross as a headstrong, ruthless, intelligent, irresponsible, self-assured though aimless young man. He is about to drop out in spite of his foster parents' immense sacrifices for putting him through the college. It is no hagiography yet and hope it does not become one. It is very upfront like apple products. Here it is, the complete package. Take it or leave it. It is different and it is what you want and it is expensive. You are paying for the experience which is different from any other experience. It has already acknowledged Steve Wazniak as the real wizard and Jobs as the drug-infested, pyschedelic designer and the shrewd market-man.
