The Asus is a great choce, it's one of the better tablets out there. My personal favorite is the Toshiba Thrive.
As for Android Apps, there are two that stand out ezPDF($3) and RepliGo($5). Both support full annotations and the ability to share so you can put your annotations on evernote, email, facebook,tweet,etc... ezPDF also has a plugin to sync your PDFs to dropbox.
I've purchased both and have to say both have their strength and weaknesses. The rendering engine and annotations access is better with repligo. So is the UI. But ezPDF is much better with regards to just reading PDF.
There is also Mantano which handles secure(DRM) PDF and ePUB. It has it's own annotation mechanism and does not use the PDF standard. To the plus is you can annotate secure documents but the bad part is that it is specific to Mantano and does not modify the base PDF. you will only ever be able to view the annotations unless you share your annotations.
