I have a BA in both history and biochemistry. I am currently in medical school. As much as I enjoy reading, I only have time to use my iLiad for lecture notes and such riveting titles as Robbins and Clark Pathologic Basis of Disease and Harrisions Principles of Internal Medicine.
I must say though that having the iLiad makes it very easy all my notes and most of my texts... with the exception of the atlases, those require color.
