Steve Jobs - Walter Issacson

[FFHWatcher]

It took me a full year to get all the information from Warren Buffett's Snowball into my head via my eyes (reading).

It took me one week to get all the information from Steve Job's book into my head via my ears (audiobook).

Suffice to say, my first impression of the audiobook experience is positive. 

I listened to it on my iPhone 4S through a subscription with Audible.  $7.50 for the entire audiobook.

Short term promo with audible.com for $7.50/mo for 3 months then about $15/mo thereafter.

Able to cancel anytime (that is my understanding), so you could just get the Jobs book and only pay $7.50.

If you stay, you get 1 audiobook credit/month for your $15. monthly charge.

I'm a year late to the Steve Jobs discussion. I just read it. Walter Isaacson is a fantastic writer. His Ben Franklin and Einstein biographies are also spectacular. Three bizarre personalities.

 

BTW this Jobs book topic is the most viewed and most replied to topic in the book category, ahead of Seth Klarman's Margin of Safety. Jobs would love that.

Yep, I know I am late to this party. Just finished this book and throughly enjoyed. Jobs was a visionary. Let's Apple can maintain his vision and keep making beautiful, simple to use products.
