Introduction:
We believe this is the first and only electronic textbook available that adequately summarizes medical information in a concise and easy to read format. This book is directed at practicing clinicians. It is also useful to residents and medical students doing clinical rotations. It includes differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, clinical pearls, physical diagnostic findings as well explicit details on the evaluation and treatment of a multitude of medical conditions. One can quickly navigate to the diagnosis and/or treatment section for quick recommendations on the go. The Clinical Medicine Series is a set of individual textbooks that cover nearly all medical specialties. The Clinical Medicine Consult is an all-inclusive text that includes all of the individual texts a chapters in one highly interlinked book.
Supporting: These texts can be read on just about any electronic device. The exact same file can be read on any Palm, Pocket PC, iPhone (iSilo version only), Blackberry, Symbian (Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Psion), Smartphones, dedicated ePaper devices (The Kindle2, Cybook, iRex Digital Reader, iLiad, Hanlin and The BeBook can all read the Mobipocket versions) and most any other PDA including your desktop or laptop. Additionally, there are iSilo versions for the Android platform (supporting the T-Mobile G1/HTC Dream and others), and S60 5th edition platform (supporting the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 and others).....see bottom of page for additional details.

Answers to Common Questions About Which Devices/Readers can be used and for which versions:
As you already know, it’s not simply just palm or pocket pc anymore. There are getting to be a lot of different devices out there so here is the updated list of compatible hardware for The Clinical Medicine Consult files. First off, there are three versions of the text. One version for the iSilo Reader (.pdb, obtain reader via www.iSilo.com), adobe (.pdf) and one is the MobiPocket version (.prc, obtain the Mobipocket reader via http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp, free, this version also works with about a dozen other readers). Neither reader will read a file from the other version (demo or full)(Pocket PC or palm OS) and both are separate purchases. With the PDF version, there were multiple options for handheld and desktops, this version is included for free with the purchase of the MobiPocket version.
The iSilo, pdf and Mobipocket readers all allow you the read the exact same file on most ANY platform (Palm OS, Pocket PC OS, Windows [notebook or desktops], Windows Mobile Smartphone,Windows CE Handheld PC, Symbian (Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Psion) or Blackberry.
iPhone users: Currently there is only an iSilo version that runs directly on iPhones. As of August 2010, we have for sale a non-DRM version in .prc fromat. If you do not wish to use the iSilo version, you can take this file and covert it to ePub (via Calibre or Stanza) and load it on your iPhone and iPad. The Apple iBooks for iPad app uses ePub as it's main format. It is fairly straightforward to move user-generated files onto the iPad with iBooks. iBooks cannot read mobi files though. Both Calibre and Stanza can generally convert non-DRM mobi (.prc) files into ePub files readable in the iBooks for iPad app, however the text is too large for them to convert (no ePub option at this time). Another iPad app, called "Bookshelf", will read mobi .prc files on the iPad.
