Empowered Medicine; A Guide for Consumers is an innovative new book that summarizes the top chronic conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cancer and explains the official treatment guidelines for these conditions in terms that are easily understandable. The new consumer guide, just released in paperback and in the Kindle electronic reader format, could be just the tool patients need to help open up the lines of communication and have a more meaningful dialogue with their doctors.
The trend toward portable electronic reading media is growing. The current state of the economy could be one factor causing consumers to purchase more portable electronic books and media versus traditional paper versions of the same title. For example, many consumers are finding the initial cost of the Kindle reading device is not a consideration when one factors in the discount at which electronic books can be downloaded compared to their paper counterparts.
The convenience of being able to store hundreds of favorite titles on the device, with access to download upwards of 90,000 more from Amazon instantly is also an advantage. The author of Empowered Medicine, Christi Larson, Pharm. D., says it was important for her to release the book in the Kindle format stating, "I wanted to be able to share this powerful health information with a larger audience."
As more titles are made available for the Kindle, Dr. Larson believes there could be a growing trend toward portable electronic media in the future.
