I can't say more !

Anyways I have to wonder if this book's success is not just some fashionable thing. The hot thing to have cause of the buzz and all that. Meaning that in 6 months nobody will even remember it.
Just wondering cause it came so quickly after Job's demise.

I think he sounds interesting. He at least did more with his life than work a dull job for 40 years andsit and watch endless hours of TV between trips to tha mall.

I have read many facinating books about people I would not say I admired. As examples, Hitler, Mao, Lenon, Himmler, Castro, Richards and many others. What does liking or not liking Jobs have to do with whether the book would be a good and informative read or not.

It'll be fashionable until the second version comes out. For $20, you will get an ebook with the new and improved KF8 format! Or the new hard cover, which will feature a lighter hard cover, in colour!

Wow! It's already been translated to Swedish and is available as ePub on our e-library. Our eLibrary system is different than Overdrive, so no waiting time either. I can check it out whenever I want to!

This book is also available as an audiobook from Audible. For those who took advantage of the Kindle Special Offer "$6 for 6 months of AudibleListener Gold" back in May, you can get it for one credit. That means you paid $1 for the book.


Edit: likewise, you join Audible for a 30-day free trial and get two free audiobooks; one of which could be this book.

One advantage to the ebook: those who pre-ordered the Kindle version got it today. Those who preordered the hardcover had it SHIPPED today, rather than arriving today. There is a bit of a stink on Amazon about that.

eP
What's the point in pre-ordering an ebook? Do those who pre-order get it 1 second quicker than those who purchase it after it's been released?

Well, due to an error on Amazon's part, they did get it several hours early.

It's unlikely that Amazon's going to run out of copies of an ebook.

By now, ePub, PDF, and mobi versions of it without DRM are probably available...

I agree. I believe even 2 months from now it will be under $10.
