Tintinalli ebook

[Schlockinz]

Anyone here have the Tintinalli e-book? I'm up for contract renewal with my cell phone, and I was thinking about getting a galaxy sII note if its big enough to read the ebook while I'm on the go or traveling.

I have Tintinalli on my iPad. Definitely read it more now than I did before that.

Where do you get the e-version besides illicit methods? Do you buy it separately or can you get it after buying the physical book?

I bought it legally since I had stipend money to use up. You don't get access by buying the physical book.

if your institution has web availability of Accessmedicine.com you can read it there and can download chapters.

Anyone know when the new edition of Tintinalli is coming out?

Accessmedicine has chapters from the 8th edition online.

Was thinking about buying it for my Kindle.
I have Rosen's, but I'm starting to like Tininalli better.

Yea, I have the 7th edition on my iPad. Personally, I like textbooks on the larger iPad and novels on either the iPad or iPad mini. I don't read anything on my cell phone as the screen is just too small for me. Also, I would imagine that text searches would be painfully slow on a phone not to mention horrendous for the battery life. Most of my textbooks are Kindle ebooks these days and I do almost all of my leisure reading on the iPad also.

I own Tintinalli for Kindle, and it REALLY sucks on anything Kindle less than a Fire. It still sucks on the Fire and Kindle for iPad, but not as bad. My favorite study method is the pdfs I pulled out of the Kindle edition and have stored in dropbox. My pdf annotation program syncs to that dropbox folder so I have all the pdfs, annotated by me, available on my iPad or the hospital computers. I also have a hard version of Tintinalli because I'm a sucker for hard books - I just don't use it much. I have an illicit copy of Rosen's in pdf form as well which I use the exact same way. IMO, Rosen's is a better reference but Tintinalli is a nicer to read through.

Kindle sucks because of the navigation. You can't flip back and forth, charts don't always show well, and it's hard to take notes. I do like my Kindle for reading a novel and it is tolerable for reading straight through a Tintinalli chapter.

kind of in the dark eat about PDF annotation. Can you tell me more about how you do that? do you highlight with a stylus or write? do you use the keyboard? much obliged.

Sorry - got busy for a few days. This is just what I do, other people may have different opinions:

I do almost all of my studying on my iPad using the Tintinalli and Rosen's PDFs. I store them in a Dropbox folder and then use annotation software on my iPad to annotate. IAnnotate PDF has acceptable annotating capabilities and interface with good Dropbox syncing and file management. PDF Expert has a prettier interface and very nice, simple annotating capabilities but lacks somewhat in the file management and syncing areas. I split the books into separate PDFs for each chapter so there are a lot of PDFs, which makes the file management aspect important to me and I find myself using iAnnotate PDF more often.

For the actual annotating I often use a stylus. IPad requires a "capacitative" stylus which is essentially a foam half-sphere on a stick. It's a little more graceful than a finger, but not much - so when I forget the stylus I'm not too frustrated. I solved that problem by buying a 10pack of styli (?) for $4 on amazon.

I mostly hi-lite and underline, although I occasionally handwrite notes in the margin. Basically, I treat it just like I would a hard copy or journal (this is how I consume my literature as well). It's to perfect for handwriting, but I personally find that it is more the act of hi-liting or writing that helps my brain than the actual things I write. That's also the reason I never type, also because it is a pain to type on the iPad.

I keep it I'm the Dropbox and sync my annotations back to it every few days so that I have my materials at work on the workroom computers without having to bust out the iPad. It took me a little while to commit to and arrange this method but I'm pretty happy with it now.

I also have emcrit (audio and video), EM rap, Breaking Bad season 4, Weezer, Van Morrison, FaceTime/Skype, 2do, Amion and many many more useful things. My dad gave me the iPad as a gift, and I used it twice in the first 2 mos because I didn't know where it would fit between my smartphone and laptop. Now I'm a fan.

Apple isn't paying me commission yet, but it sounds like they should, right?

Totally buying/stealing Tintinalli on pdf or whatever other format will jive with the android OS. I just got (sorry, bragging) a new Asus Transformer Infinity (with the charge-able keyboard for 16+ hours of battery life.... thing is P.I.M.P. for so many reasons, and I hate to use that adjective). Will read so much more of it than I did in residency now that I have a) the time, and b) an easily portable and swipe-able format to read it.

Maybe its just me, but... actual bound TEXTbooks are dying, IMO. I'll always treasure some of my hard books ( "The 99 Critical Shots of Pool" amongst others), but if I need to read a textbook... give me something that my brain can process quickly... and don't write it in such a fashion that it reads like a Steinbeck novel (Rosen's).

Hey, I can be wrong. Dissent is welcome. Sometimes it sets me straight.
