I seem to remember seeing a note somewhere that eReader is working on a Blackberry version of its eReader software, but I don't know if it's been released yet...I don't remember seeing it posted.

well a blackberry is a PDA, and it can install aplications. but that doesn't mean it has medical books.

I do know there are medical books for both the Iphone and Windows Mobile platforms. probably palm too. so I don't see why they wouldn't have reference books on the blackberry.

but it shouldn't be too hard to find out. but unless there is another doctor here with a blackberry you will be hard pressed.

call someone on the campus to find out.

Well, according to the Mobipocket site here:
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/Downloa...ailsReader.asP
the Blackberry will read books in mobi/prc format.

And the mobipocket site has a lot of medical books, e.g.
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/ebooks/...sp?language=en
But you may also want to see whether you can get them cheaper elsewhere.

I hope this helps.

Welcome to MobileRead, Hadeel686!

Hopefully, one of the above posters answered your question, because I don't know anything about Blackberrys!

I would think, though, that if you want to read medical books, you might want a bigger screen, maybe a Kindle DS. Anyway, good luck with your internship!

Happy Reading!
