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.

Have you had a chance to see how the iPad handles bookmarks in PDFs by any chance? I agree with your point about the battery life. As it is, I can't see myself carrying around a tablet with me, and imagine that I would use it the most at home.
