Not sure how med texts are, but I read a decent number of engineering papers on my TX. The resolution is good but the screen is awfully small for me. It's great for "fun" books, and the Plucker format is great for "fun" reading and captured text, but most of my papers come off citeseer or IEEE and are in .pdf format. The PDF reader is good, but the screen is small. Something twice the size might be great.

I'd try a Sony but I share Alton Brown's aversion to singletaskers.
