Great quote by Woz and I stand corrected. Guess I should read the darn book I bought.

Not to go all Most Interesting Man in the World on this tangent but I don't buy many biographies but when I do it's for Steve Jobs.* I imagine many people are doing the same and I think the meta idea of how many copies it will sell will be interesting (not shockingly high because I mean who reads anymore) but 5+ million by xmas might be possible I'd guess. I also wonder how many ipad owners broke their Kindle lock in and bought it on iTunes.

* Technically I guess I also bought Marcus Allen Super Raider when I was 9 or 10 years old in the mid 80s. Here's hoping this is half as good as Marcus Allen Super Raider was to me when I was 9 or 10.



I've decided to hold off for a bit:

* The Kindle book costs nearly as much as the hardcover. Too much.

* I suspect most of the salient, "juicy" bits will be coming out over the next few weeks, and most of the general outline is already widely known.


In the UK the kindle book is actually more than the hardcover.
