Which ereader is the best for a student going into college for medical studies?

I don't own one but since I'm interested in buying one in the future I've read lot of comparisons and since you're saying you're going to use it for medical studies I think you should search for something with a larger screen than the usual to proper visualize pdf files with medical images. I've seen 6'' screens and they are really tiny. They're good for normal books but as I said you should consider a larger one if you need to read also pdf files. Many PDF files can't be re-flowed properly and others have pages made with large images that can't be re-flowed at all. Anyway, before buying something I recommend you try one of them in a shop to see how they are working. Even if it's different model or brand from the one you are going to buy, so can you have an idea, because when I saw some of them the first thing I though was that they were looking way better online

I don't have experience with any ereaders yet. I have been thinking about getting one yet. I honestly don't need one, I have about 100 paperback books upstairs waiting to be read lol. But I'm a sucker for technology. Anyways, I was wondering what the differences were in all the e-readers. I searched product comparisons and found a website that offers comparisons of all sorts of stuff, e-readers being one of them. I compared the ipad, kindle, nook (barnes and noble's e-reader) and I think one other one I hadn't heard of. Ipad is basically the front runner if you can afford it. It is basically a laptop computer plus you can download the kindle app. So it can do what kindle can do plus a lot more. I heard the ipad 2 is better than the original, lighter and faster and more. I would try the product comparison sites and choose the one that will work for what you want it for.
