"if you have students interested in Steve Jobs, and the biography is just too much, the comic book version might be worth putting into their hands." PC MAG

First things first: I'm not a heavy or frequent a comic book reader, but this title, Steve Jobs: Co-Founder of Apple, was too compelling to pass up. However, do yourself a very big favor if you're interested in this one: buy it in the paperbook format, and NOT as a Kindle edition.
Had seen a few press items heralding this, and there had been mention that it would also be available on Amazon.com, so I followed the link. My choice was right there: Kindle Edition or Paperback. Could have had the paperback version in a couple of days with Amazon Prime, but I wanted to see how well the images would hold up in Kindle format, so I went for it.
The cover is said to be illustrated by DC Comics cover artist Joe Phillips, and manages to work as grey scale reasonably on my Kindle 2, but from there things head as south as the apple falling on Steve Jobs' head as depicted on the cover. As one moves through the pages, one can dimly see the title page noting that CW Cooke was the writer, and that it was penciled by J. Christopher Schmidt. Beyond that, it becomes a mess; a shame as I would have been interested in seeing how well Chris Schmidt's illustrations held out.
The problem here is not the Kindle, it's the people who format these things for eBooks in general without thinking about how the reader will be able to see them. Some companies have figured it out already, but it's clear that Bluewater Productions has not, and that's to their own detriment.
Many of these pages have three panels, and if they had tried to separate then as opposed to clumping them together, the graphics and text would have been readable. As this reader understands the issue, and has had to manipulate the controls and magnification with other publications, it could be done, but barely. It just wasn't worth the effort, to be up front about it. Maybe it's the Kindle, but Chris Schmidt's illustrations often did not resemble Steve Jobs or some of the other characters portrayed.
If you're interested in more info about Steve Jobs, then look into WIRED: Steve Jobs, Revolutionary, which is an eBook featuring the best stories from WIRED Magazine about him. It's an anthology that begins with a remembrance by Wired senior writer Steven Levy, who interviewed the late Steve Jobs many times over the last two decades.
Bluewater Productions has announced that they have a forthcoming biography comic release featuring Microsoft founder Bill Gates scheduled to hit the shelves in March. If that's so, then they better do their homework and figure out how to make it presentable in eBook format, or just publish it in paper.
I was thinking that this would be an interesting adjunct to a review that I'm writing on Walter Isaacson's bestselling Steve Jobs, but as it currently sits, at least in the Kindle format, this reader cannot recommend it. Have thought about ordering the printed copy, but for now will pass, at least for the time being.

Simply unimpressive
Not the least bit interesting or creative. Contains full page ads for other products. Many drawings of Steve Jobs look like someone else.

Kindle Edition is Black and White (no color) and doesn't zoom to page...
I would love to give this a 5- or even just 4-star review, but plain black and white graphics is really disappointing. Read more
