medical ebooks are very big in size... and many of them in chm format and in pdf...

for eg. - Cambell orthopedics - CHM 550MB!!!(i doubt whether we can read that on any ereader.)
orthopedic examination evaluation 2ed. - CHM 72MB
Rapid orthopedic diagnosis- Pdf 96MB
essential clinical anatomy - pdf 32MB
You might try the Sony 950. It should be able to handle the Campbell Orthopedics with a memory card.

Truthfully, I doubt you would be happy reading these books on any eInk reader. I edit these types of books (e.g., Williams' Hematology, Goldfrank's Toxicology, Harrison's Internal Medicine) and I'm not convinced that they are designed well enough for the standard 6-7-inch eInk device. If you don't mind reading on an LCD screen for long periods, I suggest looking at something like the Motorola Xoom.
