The New England Journal of Medicine
The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) is the most widely read, cited and influential general medical journal in the world and the longest continuously published medical periodical.
Reviews
"As far as I can tell, the New England Journal (NEJM) is the first medical journal available for the kindle. Third, reading the NEJM off the kindle screen is almost as good as reading articles printed from the online journal...except, you eliminate the ink/tonor cost. Fourth, the kindle saves the old editions on the device for you (creating a virtual library). Fifth, the kindle will read the NEJM to you...by connecting into the speakers of your car stereo via a Coby cassette adapter."
"Fortunately, such tables/graphs are relatively infrequent and I enjoyed reading the latest NEJM on the Kindle DX, and most physicians have other ways to obtain these table/graphs if they need them. Yet, Amazon needs to find a way to overcome this problem if they are truly going to cater to the academic audience as they report that they are trying to do. Being in academic medicine, it is not difficult for me to obtain any full article on line when I need it."
"Overall, the articles are easy to read, and suffer very little from being converted to Kindle format, with one notable exception: the graphics and tables come across horribly on the Kindle screen. In other words, if I can't see the figure clearly, I can't interpret whether the article I'm reading is a quality article, and what impact it should have on the way I practice. Additionally, I mentioned that I was excited to have the Kindle read articles out loud while I was commuting to work. This makes articles read aloud via the Kindle almost incomprehensible. That being said, I do find that having the NEJM available on my Kindle has increased the number of articles from the Journal that I take a serious look at (as opposed to just glancing over)."

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
The Kindle edition of JACC contains articles found in the print edition, including all tables, charts, and clinical images.
Reviews
"There are huge advantages to getting/producing kindle versions of medical journals, and I expect these advantages will become so obvious in the near future that nearly all journals will move to this format. Right now there are literally "metric tons" of medical journals stacked all over doctors homes and offices and medical libraries around the world. Come to think of it, once all the world's medical journals arrive on the kindle, it'd be nice to have PUBMED easily accessible on the kindle for search purposes."
"Nice journal, but expensive."
