Following the tragic death of Apple innovator Steve Jobs, a digital book containing his 'best' e-mails has been released.

Letters to Steve: Inside the E-mail Inbox of Apple's Steve Jobs has been compiled and commentated by Mark Millan, a technology writer from CNN who has gathered the e-mails through various forums and blogs. Importantly, there are also some 'never-before-published e-mails' which are featured.

It is said that this book will offer fans an insight into the character of Jobs, a passionate man who often replied to customer queries himself. It also shows his deep connection with his own products, as Millan notes that "he’d write long missives about Flash or the H.264 video codec or the Objective-C programming language."

Millan also goes into great detail to analyse Jobs' online communication. He notes that "he was also inconsistent about whether he’d sign his name or include 'Best' in his sign-off signature. Some of the sources I interviewed for the book believed he had assistants help him with his mail, but I didn’t find any evidence to support that."

At $2.99, this is a cheap read that will appeal to the most dedicated Apple technology enthusiasts.
