Ratings and reviews

I love having my favourite anatomy textbook on my tablet, available anywhere - without having to lug around half a tree. I find I am reading it more on the train, in between things, aborbing more and more. More than appropraite in my early days at medical school. After experimenting with a few other texts at my library, I am glad I invested in Grays for students. Works well on my Motorola Xoom with Google Play's reader.

Excellent companion for my flash cards, especially when I'm studying on the run!

I cant understand properly ! VERY BAD
