Amazon Kindle and Health Professionals

Kindle DX: Amazon's 9.7 is the new eBook reader in town. However, what does this mean to health professsionals? Well, Medical Textbooks can be quite heavy. The weight and size of these textbooks prevents many health professionals from carrying them around during the day. In order to reference these texts health professionals must return to a specified area and begin searching the book. Would it not be easier to carry several medical textbooks around during the day? That is, if it were not for the size and weight. Would it not be easier to type in the search item into a generalized search and have the pages pertaining to that query become listed? Well, the Kindle DX: Amazon's 9.7 may offer a solution for health professionals. In addition, with the ability to download books wirelessly over the "Whispernet," this device is set up for automatic downloading of professional journals and possibly the ability to contain patient data.

Kindle vs. Apple Computers Mediapad

Whenever I think about Apple Computers releasing a "mediapad," I start to get misty-eyed. There are many technologies that medical professionals use, but an all-in-one device, like a large iPhone, could replace patient charts, radiographs, ...

Okay! I know I am overshooting my expectations, but such a device could be used for patient education by displaying video demonstrations of procedures. If this device is a tablet and uses a digital pen, a medical office could decrease paper usage. HOW GREEN!

If this device has 3G or 4G capabilities, it is possible to finally use Google Health in a more seemless way. Apple's Conference WWDC up and coming... Its a nail biter.
