Steve "No-One Reads Books Anymore" Jobs Biography Tops Amazon 2011 Sales





Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs is now top of Amazon's book sales for 2011 in the US.

There are no figures for sales but it's not bad going remembering the book was only released in October.

Ironic when you remember this quote from Steve Jobs in 2008 when asked about the Kindle bookreader:
"It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don't read anymore... Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole [Kindle] conception is flawed at the top."  (Via: Gawker)
It's not doing quite as well in the UK, where it's No.5, below the Guinness Book  of World Records, Jamie Oliver and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

If you're interested, here are the Amazon charts in the US and UK.
