I read this ages ago, and it's actually pretty nice. There are lots of pictures drawn from throughout her life: photos from her childhood, public appearances, and personal life, as well as the expected stills and behind-the-scenes “candid” shots from her acting work. The accompanying biographical text has enough depth to be satisfying to a casual reader, and touches on various points of personal and professional interest which may lead one to want to read a more dedicated examination of her life and career.
For a mere $1.99, I'd certainly recommend if you happen to like or be interested in Hepburn's life and work or maybe some old Hollywood trivia about her films and co-stars, even if the picture quality is probably a little dubious after conversion to e-book (my hardcover is roughly the size of a 15-inch MacBook).
