McGraw-Hill Medical Publishing has joined the 21st century with an online version of the popular medical textbook Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment. Physicians can access the digital book via the Web, and can also download sections of the text onto their PDAs. Access is free until Oct. 31, after which it will cost $79 for an annual subscription.
Personally, I think they should offer an auto-updating PDA version of the entire book alongside the Web version, and include both in the annual subscription fee. IMHO, this would give them a competitive advantage over similar products. As it stands, downloading selected sections to your PDA seems a bit cumbersome, and less "current" than it could be.
