I'm a researcher and use an iPad for all my academic reading. I warmly recommend it. It's much more comfortable than reading journal articles on a computer screen, you can easily annotate them using a stylus, you will always have all/most of your literature with you, and you don't need to deal with huge piles of papers. I also use it for commenting on colleagues' work and giving feedback to students.
You could probably get a decent iPad second hand, then install either iAnnotate, GoodReader or PDF Expert to annotate your pdfs.
