I'm in a similar position, but while I use my Nook for some pdfs, I'm waiting for a decent tablet to hit the market. My wife has an iPad, and I'm really not impressed with it--it's too crippled for academic work. I'm waiting for a tablet that has a decent browser, that can use the full version of Google Docs, and that can handle multitasking. Sure, it won't get the battery life of the iPad, but what good is a long-life battery if you can't do much useful work with the gadget it powers? A lot of tablets should hit the market in the next 6-8 months. I'd advise waiting. If you must have something now, the iPad is probably the best bet, warts and all, because it does handle pdfs well, and the zoom is nice.
