Well, I think this was probably a bad purchase on your part. Science textbooks are one area in which it is better to have a paper book than an electronic one. That is why electronic books of this type are cheaper. If these books have a very good hot-linked table of contents and you use the bookmark function a lot, you may get by, but you'll waste a lot of time & energy doing it.
I would think a Kindle DX would be better, to make sure that the whole graphic can fit on the screen and still be legible.
I may get crucified for saying this, but I would spend the money on a laptop instead. Preferably a Macbook of some kind. (not sure if the text is available in a format that Mac can read. Are the textbooks PDFs?) If you already have a laptop, do yourself a favor and find your books online, used. There are online book swapping/selling sites just for students. Search them out.
There has been at least one college that Amazon has furnished with Kindles for their coursework, and it didn't work out well. Too much flipping back and forth and too hard to keep notes handy and organized.
