Get a notebook or netbook if you are gonna go that way. I don't think an ereader is gonna work for law stuff. Even medical stuff I would recommend notebook or netbook.
I mean 800 dollars for the 1000s is not cost effective I don't think for you. It wouldn't be for me. If it's a text book that can be read cover to cover or chapter to chapter , yeah , ereader could work. Are you gonna orc it or just do straight copy TEXT book just scanning it. If you orc it you could do searchable search, hopefully the orc errors are not bad. I would check with other law students how they are doing it, and copy them.
Now the 505 or other ereaders could be cool for copying your notes to your an ereader and flash card type stuff, so you can study on the fly. So there are uses for ereader but it's good you are asking us our opinion, maybe some lawyer is on the board that could also advise you.
