While not entirely Commodore related, and it has a real slant towards the BBS/cracking scene, I really enjoyed:

Commodork: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie
by Rob O'Hara

First chapter can be previewed free on the authors website to give you a feel for it:  http://www.robohara.com/commodork/

I bought it for my iPad via iTunes store and loved every minute of it.

I bought the Jobs bio yesterday when it hit the iTunes store in iBook form.  About 1/4 of the way thru it now, it's a pretty good read actually, but does seem rushed in spots.  Which can be expected since it wasn't supposed to come out until next year, so there's a bit of redundancy in the writing that's likely due to the rush deadline put on due to Jobs' passing away.

I was initially concerned it'd be censored to all hell to make the fellow seem like less of a cruel bugger, but the author was actually very forthright thus far on exactly what Jobs was like.  I'd recommend it and it's sure to sell like gangbusters..
