For anyone wanting to get Wozniak's biography from the iTunes Store here's the URL:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAudiobook?id=207652969&s=143455 This is actually cheaper than at Audible ($10.95 in iTunes vs. $12.24 member price at the U.S. Audible Store) and is probably available to more countries.
