I just finished "Becoming Steve Jobs" by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli. Not a full bio but has some great stories about Steve Jobs at NeXT, Pixar, and his return to Apple.
If I remember correctly was written almost as a reaction to the official biography misunderstanding/misrepresenting the character. I'd say that it's a difficult biography to write since his character seems to have changed quite a lot over his lifetime, and accounts from one era will not be applicable to another. Small Fry is an interesting personal account over time, but obviously very biased and particular. I really enjoyed folklore.org for a look at the professional side of things from a very specific period, and would recommend the hypercritical episode on the book [0] for some good arguments on why Isaacson was the wrong person to write the biography.
One of the themes (reflected in the title, even) of "Becoming Steve Jobs" is precisely that Jobs changed. For example, it starts out with a formative episode from early in his career that the authors use to illustrate how Jobs constantly used failures to re-evaluate his approach to work and life, as develop his character.
