The Sony EBook Reader don’t have good content support, so it doesn’t have too much selection even for books, not to mention textbooks. If you want to read textbook with ebook device, I think you should go for the Kindle DX. Amazon has signed contract with three main publishers of textbooks, so eventually 60% of all textbooks will be available on the Kindle. There is a discussion here:

And you can see some user reviews here about reading textbooks on the Kindle:

Hope this helps.

I have a Sony reader and think a few are offered. The sony and Kindle readers can handle non proprietary formats which pd works readily available. I haven’t checked the Sony bookstore in a while but the last time I looked there was a lot of reference book titles available.

No. Editions change so often that there would be no money in it. Worse, you’d be chained to a computer or the like in order to study, and you couldn’t underline, highlight, or make marginal marks. A better alternative is fetchbook.info, which runs multiple search engines simultaneously (Amazon is only one) on both new and used books, even from small stores and used bookstores all over the country. I have bought $39.00 books for as little as $6.00, used, and then sold them back to the college bookstore for more than I paid for them. I always advised my students to look for their texts there.
