I suggest iPad 2018 (330 but you can get it for 250 this Thanksgiving from various big box retailers) or iPad Pro 11 depending on how much you wanna spend. iPad 12.9 is too big and unwieldily to hold, its great if you mostly read/draw with it laying on a desk. I just upgraded to iPad Pro 11 and its a great PDF reading device. I use PDF Expert with synced cloud folder so that any annotations or notes I made on iPad are available everywhere on the pdfs. LiquidPDF is another costly but more powerful PDF annotation tool. Samsung make great tablets with AMOLED screens but please be aware that android has non existent tablet app ecosystem.
