If I was just looking for a tablet to read PDFs I would certainly consider the iPad. The 4:3 form factor of the iPad is better for reading than the wide screen of most of the other (Android) tablets. And you really need something close to 10" to read PDFs with diagrams. I went a different route when I bought the Le Pan 9.7" Android tablet. But I bought the Le Pan because I have an Android phone and another 7" Android tablet. To me it's all about software. If all you're going to do is read, get a used iPad. If you're going to use it for other things get what fits the rest of your life. Maybe an iPad, maybe something else.
