A short note on iBooks

I’m disappointed with the iBookstore and the “tens of thousands” of books that Apple is currently offering. I realize that Amazon started as a books company before becoming the veritable (non-evil) Walmart of the Internet. I expected Amazon’s Kindle bookstore to have mostly everything I’m looking for. And they do. (For those interested, I’m reading mostly business and sports books right now)

IBooks is a different story. When I search for the books I want to read it almost always comes up empty-handed. I’m sure it’s partially my fault. At the same time I feel like unless I want to read Malcolm Gladwell, iBooks doesn’t want me. 

My reading list for right now (in no particular order): The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Chbosky 1959 - Kaplan The 4-Hour Work Week - Ferris A People’s History of the United States - Zinn The Long Tail - Anderson What the Dog Saw - Gladwell The Great Ones - Jim Murray
