Thumbs up Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo) I, Steve: Jobs in His Own Words [Business Celebrity Quotes]

I, Steve: Steve Jobs in His Own Words edited by George Beahm is the Apple-centric volume in the In Their Own Words series of celebrity businessperson (secular) inspirational quote collections, free courtesy of publisher Agate's B2 imprint.

This is mostly on business-related topics and you can find out what Jobs (briefly) had to say to various newspapers and magazines and other venues about such diverse subjects as E-Book Readers, Porn Apps on the Android, Real Estate Location, and Pixar's Toy Story 2.

There's also a timeline of milestones in Jobs' life/Apple's releases and a copy of his letter of resignation from being iCEO for health reasons.

Currently free @ B&N & Kobo (not available to Canadians), and slated to drop @ Amazon after midnight Pacific Time. Will likely also show up as a DRM-free PDF download available worldwide directly from the publisher's webstore page for this in another day or two, as Agate often does for their freebies (currently, there's just the electronic press kit).

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because I didn't spend a goodly chunk of my life (and money!) being a Mac evangelist for nothing, I'll have you know.

Enjoy!

Description
Drawn from more than three decades of media coverage—print, electronic, and online—this book serves up the best, most thought-provoking insights ever spoken by Steve Jobs: more than 200 quotations that are essential reading for everyone who seeks innovative solutions and inspirations applicable to their business, regardless of size.

Jobs, the longtime CEO of Apple, Inc., which he co-founded in 1976, stepped down from that role in August 2011, bringing an end to one of the greatest, most transformative business careers in history. Over the years, Jobs has given countless interviews to the media, explaining what he calls “the vision thing”—his unmatched ability to envision, and successfully bring to the marketplace, consumer products that people find simply irresistible.

Jobs has made an indelible mark in multiple industries, and played an enormous role in creating others. Consider how Jobs and Apple shaped the following fields: personal computers (laptop and desktop), apps (for multiple electronic devices), computer animation (Pixar), music (iTunes), telecommunications (iPhone), personal digital devices (iPod), books (iBook), and, most recently, tablets (iPad). Jobs is the great business visionary of our era.

I, Steve is the perfect gift or reference item for everyone interested in this great American original.
