Steve Jobs Biography Released Early on Kindle, Coming to iBooks at Midnight
The Steve Jobs biography is officially launching on October 24th and it's become available around the world as the local clock hits midnight. So, we expect it to be become available in the U.S. iBooks at the same local time (midnight Eastern).
Early Kindle customers, however, have started receiving the book a little early. Several people are now reporting their pre-orders are now available on their Kindles. The image above from a reader in Florida.

I can. E-ink display (Kindle, etc.)
How you people can read an entire book on a back-lit screen without burning your retinas out, I'll never know ;)
Amazon Kindle works on my MacBook Pro. iBook only works on iOS. Kindle for me. I got it before midnight EST.
Chill - books are released early all the time.

Rather fitting that Amazon delivered it to me faster than Apple could. An indicator of the future as Apple begins to fall behind.
Finished the book before calling it a day. Was an interesting, if not totally surprising read.
Another reminder of the Kindles superior experience when reading eBooks.
I wish my iPad 2 could do as well.
