Aside from intermittent anguish due to reasons noted above, which I hope will be sorted out soon by iRex, DR is probably the best reader around for scientific or medical ebooks. If current issues persist, I may still have to get a Tablet as well.

I don't miss wifi as all of my ebooks can simply be transferred to the 16GB SDHC card in my DR whenever I connect to the Mac. Overall it is a very good reader, regrettably slightly hamstrung (hopefully only temporarily) at the moment.

Good luck with your decision.
Since you're talking about medical books and you have the DR, I would like to know about the readability of pictures and diagrams. Specially the colour pictures, where the colour is important to discern diferent components in a picture.
