Used iBooks on my laptop for first time. (no iBooks in Snow Leopard).

Trying to find the reference in the Steve Jobs biography of Apple
willing to cannabalize iPod to make iPhone.

Quick question: is there a way to make scrolling vertical ? Really not
natural for me to scroll laterally to change pages.

it will become natural after a very short time

don't think of it as "scrolling"

think of it as turning the page

You've never read a printed book?

In any case, iBooks has a search function. If you know any of the exact
words he used (such as cannibalize) and if the exact word that you know
is not common, it should be easy to find.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

On a computer I am used to up/down scrolling, so sideways ia not
natural, especially sicne all others apps are up/down.

Yeah, but I didnt know how to spell cannibalize and searching for "can"
yieled way too many results :-) Google did give me the quote and I was
then able to find it in the book. Infortunatly, I don't think the page
numbers are relevant, so I was only able to quote "Chapter 31".
(normally one woudl give precise reference).
