Do I even need to buy any medical textbooks?

Thread Starter Do I even need to buy any medical textbooks? Follow 57 minutes ago 57m ago I'm a first year medical student and at the moment we are just covering basic science. Topics like gene transcription, metabolism. My question is if I even need to buy textbooks considering most information can be found on the internet anyway, however my concern being is if that will go into enough detail? For example, for gene transcription, expression etc I've just used Khan Academy, websites and YouTube videos to make notes from. Is this enough or what would you recommend? The university has given an electronic version of Gray's Anatomy by the way.
