Steve Jobs Biography Released Early on Kindle, Coming to iBooks at Midnight

[MacRumors]

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.

Thanks @davidj

There is some weird irony in that!

Amazon is like a big leach!

Mine showed up on my kindle about 10 minutes ago. Got an email from Amazon letting me know they'd sent it and am now reading it on my iPad. I'm in FL also.

 

[Maclver]

Yay!! Glad it showed up early... Going to be a busy few days while I read this!

Steve, why can't I buy your biography on Hong Kong's iBookstore?

 

[vitzr]

Just happened to be using my Kindle earlier when it appeared. A pretty interesting read. I look toward to comparing it with another I read is on the way.

It's not midnight yet.

 

[koobcamuk]

I can't wait for this.

I can't think of a better way to read Steve's Biography than on an iPad.

It's well past midnight in Hong Kong. It's already tomorrow morning there.

Nope. They wanted to out do Apple on this. Plain and simple.

 

[Chundles]

We got it ages ago. Been the 24th now for a long time.

 

[cargoplex]

Anyone got an ETA on the audiobook? All I've found is it listed on audible.com's coming soon section.

 

[mncmoore]

I can't wait. Should be a very good read. I watched the 60 minutes clips.

 

[canglan]

I'm in Australia and the iBook version is released too.

Chill - books are released early all the time.

 

[daneoni]

Was pleasantly surprised to see it waiting for me on the Kindle already downloaded. Kindle>iBooks

 

[EricNau]

I have my Kindle copy in California. Now time to go read...
