I don't know the availability of this textbook, but I have to warn you that if it is full of graphics (diagrams, tables, photos, etc.) then accessing it on a Reader in .pdf form may make the graphics or type size so small to be unreadable.
Ideally, all graphics would be hotlinked within the document, so instead of having text and graphics together, you would "follow the link" to the appropriate figure or table. The Sony Reader User's Guide is a great example of embedded hotlinks. Textbooks and technical papers should be reformatted that way for the Sony Reader, but convincing textbook publishers to do that may be difficult.
Otherwise, you may have to wait for a reader with a 8.5x11 size screen before being fully satisfied.
