You know you're really into pathology when you tell your family members that the following is among the things that you'd like to have for Christmas:

Or maybe you know you're just strange.

They have a kindle version?! Score!

First thing to do: read & memorize Chapter One: Using the Microscope

Being able to optimize my Kohler illumination was an invaluable skill the whole way through residency

Sweet! I hope I get a Kindle for Christmas =)

Great book! But I thought I heard it was out of print? Any info? Tks!

The publication date listed is pretty recent (2008). Both Barnes&Noble and Amazon have it listed without any mention of it being out of print.

Wow! That's awesome... but doesn't it kind of suck to have all the pictures in black and white? On the other hand, I've seen old path textbooks with black and white pictures... ~shrug~ i've only had color path textbooks, so I don't know... lol

ooh, color ebook readers... ~drool~ http://gizmodo.com/5152092/giz-explains-why-there-isnt-a-perfect-ebook-reader

I love pathology, but if you're asking for pathology books for Christmas you seriously need to think about getting a hobby!

I have a first generation Kindle, it's a great ebook but I wouldn't want to be reading any sort of pathology text on it. They're B&W so far as I know, unless the newer models have changed, and while the screen is great at displaying text, the images always look a tad pixelated to me. I wouldn't do it.

Yeah, well I didn't actually ask for the Kindle version, just the plain old paper one. I posted the "kindle" image on accident.

The Nook has been rooted.... should hopefully open it up to some interesting possibilities... http://nookdevs.com/Main_Page

The Nook did not get a very good review.

Just to bring in a little closure to this thread (not that anyone but myself needed it) . . .


I didn't get the textbook for Xmas. I guess people are just averse to giving textbooks as Xmas gifts. That's understandable, I suppose. Well, the day after Xmas I just went online and bought the darn thing for myself.

Bought myself this book for xmas.

Then I take it you are a hemepath fellow? Must be nice. If I hadn't taken 4 extra years to do this PhD thing, I'd be interviewing for a fellowship position right about now. Ah, well.

In other news, UPS lost the shipment (my book) and now I'm having to get it re-shipped. So much for 3-day shipping!

Aye hemepath fellow. I made the mistake in buying the old one just a few months ago. Anyone want to buy a near brand new copy of Kjeldsberg (prior addition)?
