Steve Jobs Bio Now Available On The Kindle And In iBooks

As if this whole “Steve Jobs” biography thing couldn’t get more drawn out and dramatic, users — including Jeff Jarvis and Jason Kottke — are reporting early deliveries of Walter Isaacson’s highly anticipated book, oddly enough through pre-orders on the Amazon Kindle. This leaves Apple fans with quite a conundrum; Watch the “60 Minutes” Issaacon interview now or read his book first?

Before you get too Amazon trigger happy, I just tried to order one via Kindle and it has not yet shown up — so maybe it’s first come first served?

Update: My copy on the Kindle just arrived, 15 minutes after I ordered it. And, as is fitting, the book — including a free sample — is now available for the iPhone and iPad in iBooks, with zero wait.

The analog version of the 656 page book should be officially available in bookstores across the US tomorrow.
