I'm looking for a physiology text book and would ideally like it to be in eBook form. Can anyone recommend one? I'm hoping for something like Vanders or Ross & Wilson.

Nemmind, found Vanders in eBook form. Bloody expensive though!

I'm curious, why do you prefer electronic text as opposed to something which one can comfortably read on the loo?

I'm traveling by train to University and back 3 days a week, and don't want to have to carry a huge heavy text book in my backpack. I take my laptop with me every day anyway, so a digital copy of any textbook is ideal. I can plug my laptop in to the power outlets on the train and read and take notes all on my laptop which is easier than juggling a book and a laptop anyway.

Recommended readings:
- Human Physiology, by R F Schmidt, G Thews (maybe an old edition by now -I`ve passed the physiology exams by studying it long time ago- well explained the neurophysiology part). There is a CD version also, german though...
- Review of Medical Physiology, by William F. Ganong.
- Textbook of Medical Physiology, by Ed A C Guyton, J E Hall.
- Illustrated Physiology, by B.R. MacKenna, R. Callander (for a quick repetition of what you`ve studied!Brief & concise)

Thanks Cass. I might have a look at those books if I have time, but Vander's is (apparently) a good reference for students, and flicking through looks relatively well illustrated.
